Why go
An island church in an alpine lake, under a clifftop castle.
Bled is small and heavily photographed but the setting genuinely delivers. Nearby Lake Bohinj is larger, quieter and better for swimming.
Signature experiences
- Pletna boat to Bled Island
- Ojstrica or Mala Osojnica viewpoint
- Vintgar Gorge boardwalk
