Holidays to Bled are journeys into a storybook landscape, complete with an impressive castle, crystal-blue lake and forest walks along the shore.
Peaks and pines
The picturesque town of Bled's less than a two-hour train ride from Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana. Set against a backdrop of mountains and surrounded by forests and quiet farmland, it's an idyllic spot of striking natural beauty. The mighty Lake Bled itself is only a five-minute walk away.
Lady of the lake
Hop on a traditional Pletna oar boat to Slovenia's only island and check out the Church of Maria of the Lake. Until the 8th century it was the site of a Pagan temple, but nowadays it's a popular spot for weddings and sightseers.
Walk and paddle
Head off on a two-hour circular walk of the lake for the most camera-friendly views of the castle. Throughout the summer months, you can rent paddle-boards to glide across the dreamy, mirror-like surface – or just lie back and catch some rays as the clouds float by.
