The story

Wild Flower Festival Bohinj in Bohinj

The International Wild Flower Festival celebrates the botanical richness of the Bohinj valley each May and June, across the 24 villages and more than 300 square kilometers of Triglav National Park's Bohinj area. It combines botanical tours, art exhibitions, music evenings, and workshops led by plant experts.

Spread across the 24 villages and more than 300 square kilometers that make up the Bohinj area of Triglav National Park, the International Wild Flower Festival runs each May and June as a coordinated regional celebration of the valley's exceptional plant life rather than a single fixed event.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Bohinj's flora is exceptional even by alpine standards, with more than 1,000 plant species recorded, including over 40 native orchid species, and the festival is built directly around this biodiversity rather than treating flowers as decoration

02

The mystery stays covered

vochinensis, known locally as the Iris of Bohinj, is a flower specific to this valley, giving the festival a genuine sense of place

03

The city starts moving

Spanning multiple weeks from late May into June and reaching across all 24 villages of the Bohinj area, it functions less as a single event and more as a coordinated regional program of guided botanical walks, themed culinary offerings built around local plants, art exhibitions, and evening music, aimed at both conservation awareness and showcasing the valley's natural wealth
