The Bohinjska tržnica in Bohinjska Bistrica takes place every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Local products, dairy products, honey and handicrafts are offered there. The fixed schedule and the variety of goods give the market a clear place in the town’s weekly routine.

The eighth stage of the Juliana Trail runs from Bohinjska Bistrica to Podbrdo, passing over the historic Vrh Bače pass. In the Sava Bohinjka fishing area, only fly-fishing with all types of lines is permitted, but without additives that would alter their original properties.
