Lake Bled (Blejsko Jezero)

Highlight • Lake

A place called: Zaka is popular for swiming, because of easy access for going into the water. There are wooden docks for jumping into the lake. The only negative thing is, when there are athlets with rowing boats training,then you cant swim without worries of being hit by a boat.

Taxi boat

Highlight • Structure

One of the locations where you can book a crossing to the island of Bled via a “Pletna”.

They are traditional boats made by the locals and typical of Bled.
Their origins go all the way back to 1590 and you can recognize them by their colorful canvas roofs that protect passengers against sun and precipitation.

The boat is steered by a “pletnar”, a skipper who takes the passengers safely to the island with a special rowing stroke.

A crossing costs €15 for adults and €8 for children aged 4-12 (August 2023).

View of Lake Bled and Bled Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bled and Lake Bled, with Slovenia's only natural island, are located at the foothills of the Julian Alps and have attracted lovers of beauty for years. Traditional boats called pletna sail to the island, home to the pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and its steep staircase, whose bell is a special homage to love.

Bohinjska Bela Waterfall and Climbing Wall

Highlight • Waterfall

There are two portaloos by the climbing wall and waterfall viewpoint. The path continues on up a narrow gorge via near vertical metal staircases. Not for the faint of heart.

Strenuous but very beautiful mountain hike. The first 4.8 km almost 800 meters in altitude, then walked on a beautiful plateau to the highest point and then just as steeply down the other side. Beautiful view of Lake Beder and the Slovenian Alps made the effort worthwhile🤩😎👍

At the end of the holiday a little mountain tour on the Galetovec with 1265m (who doesn't know him ...)
The special thing is the fantastic view e.g. of Lake Bled.
It's nice here😍
