Bled is often mentioned as the pearl of the Alpine region due to its emerald-green lake, a church on the island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the 11th century on a cliff above the lake. After a bus ride around the lake, a guided tour of Bled castle will start. Then you will be taken by Bled's typical “pletna” boat to the island. The journey will continue to the largest glacier lake in Slovenia, situated in the region of the Julian Alps mountain range, with the highest Slovene peak (Mt. Triglav) rising above it.


After a 15-minute walk you will reach the source of the Sava Bohinjka River and later have enough time to relax by the shore of the peaceful Bohinj Lake.

Don't miss St. John's Church beside the lake, adorned with 13th century frescoes. If you are a mountain-view fanatic, take a ride by cable car up to Mt. Vogel (1600m high), and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the valley with a view of the lake.
