Photography Tour in Bled
The best photos of Bled aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Bled Castle and Lakeshore walk will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Ojstrica viewpoint for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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.
