Bled LakeLast time we’ve introduced Plitviske Lakes, the jewels of Croatia. Allow us to introduce the pearl of Slovenia, Bled Lake, which is an unique and breathtaking location in its own right. Besides, Bled Lake isn’t that far from Plitviske Lakes, only a few hours with car. So why not see both locations on your vacation?

Bled Lake is situated in northwestern part of Slovenia, the mountainous region of Julian Alps. Bled Lake features a beautiful glacial lake, an island with church and a castle on cliff directly above the lake. Beautiful nature surrounds the lake and town Bled. Bled Lake is also less restrictive than Plitvice Lakes, with numerous paths, bike tracks and accommodations. If you are looking for a vacation in beautiful land, Bled may be your ideal choice; not only because of the beautiful Bled Lake and the surrounding landscape, but because of the mild climate as well.
