About the Image(s)

Arguably the most famous of all tourist sites in Slovenia, the blue-green glacier Lake Bled has been drawing attention for decades. It is the pearl of Slovenian tourism and a must-see for everyone who visits this tiny European country.
It’s only 145 hectares big, but it is impossible not to fall in love with. The most distinct feature of Lake Bled is its cute and tiny island. You can reach the island by renting your own rowing boat or hitching a ride on a larger traditional vessel called pletna. Once there, you will first have to take a walk up the 99 steps that lead to the top of the island where you can enter the elegant baroque church and ring the wishing bell. Later you will probably want to get to the Bled Castle for unforgettable views of the lake and the Alps in the background.
