Hayracks and history
The group of hayracks in Studor consists of covered double hayracks, known as Toplarji. They were built between the village and the fields. Traditionally, the hayracks were used to dry hay and other crops, and to store tools and vehicles. The group below Studor in Bohinj is a cultural heritage site within Triglav National Park.
The village’s ancient history is also tangible: a municipal post dated 21 January 2025 reports that two cremation graves were discovered during archaeological inspections in Studor. The finds suggest that Studor has been inhabited for at least 2,500 years.
Otepanje in Studor takes place on St Stephen’s Day, 26 December. During the custom, one participant carries a sack of sausages, while another carries a bottle of spirits.
Hiking and cycling
The Bohinj section of the Juliana Trail runs from Srednja Vas through Studor to Stara FuĹľina. In this area, the route follows well-marked paths, forest roads and mountain trails, and is generally easy to navigate. The stage thus connects three places and different types of trails.
Another option is the e-bike tour through the Voje Valley: it is a circular route through traditional villages in the upper and lower Bohinj Valley, including Studor. Unlike the Juliana Trail, it is designed as a loop. E-bike tour operating details may change; check them before planning your trip.
Horse riding and nature
RanÄŤ Mrcina below Studor offers trail rides and carriage rides. Availability may vary by season. If you are planning one of these activities, check suitable dates in advance.
Jama pod Studorjem is also among the natural features of national importance. The cave runs diagonally and has a shaft and several levels.
