Description of the facility

Vodni park Bohinj is partially accessible. There is no nearby public transport stop. Adapted parking spaces are available at the Bohinj ECO Hotel (adjacent building). The path from the adapted parking to the entrance runs along a roadway. There are no tactile guides or written orientation markings. The building has three levels: ground floor, basement, and first floor, all accessible by stairs and elevator. The entrance is poorly visible. The reception desk is not height-adjusted for wheelchair users and lacks an induction loop. Main access to the pool area with slides, terrace, and restaurant is through the basement via the changing rooms and connecting stairs. Obstacles such as a hand sanitizer basin pose hazards for blind or visually impaired visitors. Changing cabins and restrooms are not fully accessible. Access to pool areas is possible for wheelchair users only with staff assistance.
