Decision artifact
Make the tradeoff visible
| Decision | Use the timed three-day route to compare current provider proposals. |
| Local operating limits | Use day one for the lake circuit and the traveler's preferred castle, island, or viewpoint component. Ask whether the route reveals how much extra walking feels sensible. Use the first day to circle part or all of the lake at the party's own pace, adding one vertical element such as castle or viewpoint only if energy allows. Ask whether this establishes walking comfort before a gorge or alpine journey with fewer exits. |
| Required artifact | Timed three-day route |
| Fallback | Keep day three flexible for the regional experience not yet used or for a slower lake day. Place the cleanest connection to the next destination at the end. Reserve the third day for the unused regional priority or a slower island and shore sequence. End near the station, bus stop, or lodging when onward travel is imminent. Ask whether a compact finale absorbs rain and packing better than a distant trailhead. |

Make the decision
Give day two to Vintgar or a wider Bohinj and park journey, not both by default. Ask whether door-to-door transport and return time decide the realistic scope. Choose either Vintgar's managed route or a broader Bohinj day for the second window. Calculate entry, shuttle, road, and last-return constraints. Ask whether trying to make both the same headline day often converts scenery into a race between transport checkpoints.
