Lake Bled Holidays
Lake Bled Holidays - A fairytale location in a magnificent setting
Lake Bled is Slovenia’s most popular resort. And with its medieval castle standing guard as the sparkling emerald lake reflects the magnificent Julian Alps, it’s easy to see why. A holiday in Lake Bled might include a walk around the lake (6km), which will only take a couple of hours but will be remembered for a lifetime. To make the fairytale complete, gondolas wait to take visitors to the tiny island in the lake on which stands the romantic Church of the Assumption. High above the lake, Bled Castle offers superlative views from its terrace as well as interesting sights inside its museum and C16th chapel.
Holidays in Bled - From mountain climbing to cream cakes
Lake Bled holidays can be enjoyed at any time of the year. In spring the swimmers, rowers, trekkers and golfers replace the winter skaters and skiers in this most beautiful of locations. Visitors can also enjoy tennis, rafting, mountain biking, fishing, even skydiving. The unspoiled countryside is a hiker’s paradise and the more adventurous might like to attempt to climb Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest point. Although a bird’s-eye view can also be had by booking a panoramic flight around Bled. Indeed, a Lake Bled holiday can be enjoyed with hardly any activity at all – perhaps sampling the local speciality kremna rezina (cream cake), relaxing in a warm pool - Bled holidays have long been popular for the clean air and thermal springs - or viewing the lake from the back of a horse drawn carriage.
Lake Bled holidays - Spectacular and sophisticated
A holiday in Lake Bled, with spectacular gorges, cascading waterfalls and the Triglav National Park so close, has much to offer the nature lover, yet it is less than 50km (35 miles) from the Slovenian capital, the sophisticated modern city of Ljubljana. Slovenia is a small country and a Lake Bled holiday could easily be combined with a beach holiday in the resort of Portoroz, or even resorts in Croatia. While for winter sports enthusiasts, Lake Bled is not far from the famous ski resort of Kranjska Gora.
