Lake BledSlovenia's most popular destination, the charming town of Bled
exudes simply tourist appeal. Located just 45 minutes' drive from
the capital Ljubljana, many tourists make Bled the focus of their
holiday in Slovenia. A town with an ancient history and gorgeous
natural surrounds, Bled's stellar attraction is the glacial Lake
Bled, a cobalt-blue expanse of water with a forested island in the
middle, accessible by traditional row-boats known as pletnas.
Overlooking the lake is the photogenic Bled Castle, while the
island itself is home to one of Slovenia's best sights, the tall
and spired Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church. Bled offers
tourists a range of great outdoor sport activities, such as
golfing, fishing and horse-riding, while the nearby Triglav
National Park has fantastic walking and hiking trails. Those
looking for a cost-effective and richly rewarding European city
break vacation should check out Bled, Slovenia's undisputed tourist
jewel. |
