Lake Bled is one of Slovenia’s most Instagram-friendly attractions, but most people aren’t here to take a photo and call it a day. You can turn a visit to this charming lake into a full-day adventure if you decide to give these fun experiences a try.
Visit Bled Castle
Located above the city of Bled, this medieval, clifftop castle overlooks the picture-perfect lake, and it’s believed to be the oldest castle in all of Slovenia. It offers sweeping views of the Julian Alps in the surrounding area and it’s home to a museum that chronicles the lake’s history.
Take a Boat Ride
Visiting Lake Bled without renting a rowboat or taking a ride on a traditional wooden boat pletna is like never going at all. It’s the best way to reach the historic tiny church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary located in the middle of the lake.
Wine and Dine
Lake Bled grew into a popular tourist complex over the years, and there are now many amazing restaurants in its surroundings. You can enjoy an amazing lunch or dinner with fine wines during your visit, and try the traditional cream pastry which is the most popular culinary specialty in this area.
