From Ljubljana, Trip to Lake Bled and Bled Castle

The picturesque Alpine resort town of Bled exudes an aura reminiscent of a paradisiacal setting, boasting an emerald-green lake, a whimsical fairy-tale island, and an imposing castle perched atop a rugged cliff.

Lake Bled, renowned as the gem of Slovenia’s Alpine region, is celebrated for its emerald-green waters, an enchanting postcard church perched on the island, a medieval castle towering over the rocky cliffs, and the summits of the Slovenian Alps as a breathtaking backdrop. As one wanders along the shores, the picturesque landscapes reflect upon the tranquil lake surface, creating a serene ambiance. Regardless of the weather, Lake Bled offers visitors a tranquil environment where peace and fresh mountain air permeate the air.

Bled Castle, a testament to medieval architecture, stands atop a steep cliff overlooking the lake, with its imposing towers, defensive walls, moat, and terraced grounds providing panoramic vistas. This historic fortification also hosts a unique exhibit—a restored replica of Gutenberg’s early printing press, demonstrating ancient printing techniques using handmade paper. Visitors can embark on a journey aboard the Pletna boat, a traditional craft exclusive to this area, to explore the small island nestled within the lake.

After exploring the island, patrons are invited to indulge in the region’s culinary delights. One cannot overlook Bled’s signature dessert: the creamy kremšnita, a beloved treat enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Over the past six decades, approximately 12 million kremšnitas have been distributed—making it a must-try delicacy.

During the summer months, Lake Bled invites visitors to don their swimsuits and soak up the sun in its crystal-clear waters. For those seeking adventure, the Pletna boat excursion remains available throughout the year, ensuring a memorable experience irrespective of the season. However, due to the changing seasons and reduced daylight hours, portions of our guided tours may conclude later into the evening, and certain activities like the Pletna boat ride might not be feasible during afternoon sessions owing to the winter schedules. We commend your understanding and look forward to exceeding your expectations in every aspect of our services, whether under the golden rays of summer or the cozy glow of winter.
