Bled is one of the most popular and visited tourist destinations in Slovenia. The place is especially known for Bled Island, castle and lake. Bled Island is a small island located in the middle of Lake Bled and on which stands the interesting Baroque Church of the Assumption. You can go to the island with a traditional Bled boat called a sailboat and powered by a glider, or rent a boat and paddle on your own. The island of Bled was supposed to have been inhabited since the Stone Age, but only as a temporary fishing outpost. In the 17th century, the famous 99-foot stone staircase and the Mother of God Chapel were built on the island. The island is also known for ringing the bell. According to folk tradition, this is to fulfill all desires for those who ring on it. On Bled Island you can also see the Gothic lighthouse located near the southern entrance to the church and the baroque statue of Mary Magdalene. In winter, you can also take the island on foot if it is cold enough to freeze the lake. Bled Island is a wonderful place for a romantic wedding.

Do you have coronavirus cases in Slovenia??? We have 12 in Spain my friend
So far we don’t have it even though we are bordering on Italy …. I think it’s only a matter of time before it will appear ….. our authorities say they are ready …. I think panic is unnecessary …. as it is not so dangerous
This is a wonderful place to relax
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Vidocka…for a nice walk and relaxation
The walk by the lake is really beautiful
It’s just beautiful it’s just a little too long
It is not necessary to do a full circle
For me, half is enough
Very beautiful place. I want to be there and take pictures of the sunrise, the reflections of the sunset. Awesome landscape.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Elenka….here you would not be able to paint either sunrise or sunset because the place is surrounded by high mountains and the sun rises from behind the mountains and sets off for the mountains
Such a beautiful place and a wonderful photo! I’d love to take a boat ride and enjoy the view.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ellie…come visit Slovenia and take you to Bled
You are so kind! I spent a couple of days there last year, but I only visited Ljubljana and Postojna cave. I’d love to visit more places there.
It’s really a pity you didn’t visit Bled, dear friend …. maybe you ever get a chance to visit Slovenia …. it’s not that far
what a wonderful picture.
I would love to wander to the island, it looks like a lot of fun!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….you can walk to the lake in winter if it is cold enough for the lake to freeze …. now it has not frozen for several years … winter is too small
,
i would rather row a boat out!
But you have many different options …. you can rent a boat and paddle on your own or ride with a pletno
that is what I would do rent a boat and paddle out!
But it’s nicer to me when others drive me … you have more time to look and see
Great picture of this beautiful place! I would love to visit this place!
