Cultivated fields, arable fields, meadows, hay meadows and pastures, valley settlements and grazing mountain pastures, characteristic houses and numerous small hay lofts, stables and farmsteads make up the cultural landscape. The cultural heritage is recognisable for its diversity, as it is easy to identify and distinguish a typical Bohinj house from those in the Upper Sava Valley and the Posočje region.
