What's the best way to see the Julian Alps or Kamnik-Savinja Alps in Slovenia without a car?
What cities/towns should I stay in? I'd like to do outdoors activities such as kayaking, hiking, etc.
Is there a small city similar to Interlaken in Switzerland that you could stay in and then get to the other places (Murren, Gimmelwald, etc.) for hiking and all that relatively easily?
I looked around but it was hard to figure out what to do if I don't have a car.
If you're not going to move around too much, it's perfectly manageable with a bus and train.
Alternatively, there's a car pooling schema here, where you just find someone going your way and pay for part of the fuel https://prevoz.org/
I'd recommend staying either in Tolmin, Bovec or Bohinjska Bistrica, the Soča river valley and Bohinj are probably the most interesting in terms of hiking, kayaking, cannoeing, gliding and stuff like that.
There's hotels, bungalows, camps, I'm sure there's some hostels and of course, AirBnB.
And I think it's not too hard to rent a bicycle for shorter daily rides around those areas.

Thank you!
for Julian Alps definitely Bohinj. The bus in summer takes you all the way to Savica waterfall where there's a good starting point. I'm not sure about buses, but I think tourist offices in either Bled or Bohinjska Bistrica arrange mini buses to Pokljuka where it's a major starting point to Triglav among other mountaintops. I'd be able to give you a rough route to see Julian Alps if you tell me how long you plan on hiking there.

Thanks for your reply -- the length of time is pretty open. How long do you figure is good to do some cool, easy hiking and, maybe kayaking for one day (for a few hours)?
Also, how long should one spend in/around Bled?

Then be sure to visit the museum in Kobarid.
Then there's also this:

Also, kremšnite are overrated, get some wallnut pastry, potica or sweet štruklji :r)
