Bled Walking Tour
Bled, Slovenia
Why Walk Bled
Lake Bled is a glacial lake in the Julian Alps of northwestern Slovenia, with a tiny island holding a 17th-century church at its center and a medieval castle perched on a cliff 130 meters above the water. The combination of emerald-green water, island, castle, and surrounding mountains creates one of the most photogenic scenes in Europe. Traditional pletna boats row visitors to the island, where ringing the church bell is said to bring good luck.
