ABOUT BLED

winter tale

with breath-taking views

Bled is an image of paradise. This tourist gem of global dimensions on the edge of the Triglav National Park was nominated one of the seven new wonders of the world. It is distinguished by a mild, healing climate and thermal springs of lake water.

Lake Bled and its surroundings invite you to experience unforgettable adventures. Pamper yourself in the water of its thermal springs. Enjoy local flavours, magnificent view from Bled Castle, enjoy the view of the Slovenia’s only island.

Natural beauty, historical landmarks and a favourable geographical situation south of the Alps are the reasons for the fact that Bled is so tourism-oriented. The view of Bled with its castle, lake and little island in the middle of the lake is a globally recognised image.

The Bled Castle, a silent witness to the former power, stands firmly and confidently on the cliff overlooking the lake.

Lake Bled is well-known for its extraordinary beauty. The backdrop for this paradise are the wooded hillsides of Jelovica and Pokljuka, the mountain peaks of the Julian Alps with Triglav, their highest mountain and the symbol of Slovenia, and the Karawanks.

A romantic island with the Church of the Holy Mother of God stands in the middle of the lake. The island and the church boast a rich history. The famous wishing bell from 1543 is located in the church on the island.

In addition to these attractions and beautiful nature, Bled and its vicinity also hide a number of other interesting points which are well worth seeing.
