Lake Bled and Bohinj
Every day is a second chance for an unforgettable trip
Lake Bled and Bohinj
1. Vintgar gorge
Starting poing:
Destination address:
Reset Apartments, Kranjska Gora
Vintgar parking P1, 4247 Podhom
Start with a morning walk through the gorge
Vintgar Gorge is a 1.600 m long and up to 250 m deep gorge on the eastern edge of the Triglav National Park. The place you just must visit!
The above address will take you directly to the car park at the entrance to the Vintgar Gorge. We recommend starting your trip early, as there are not many visitors in the neighborhood at that time. As the number of tickets is limited, we also recommend that you book online.
2. Visit Bled castle
Destination address:
Grajska cesta 61
More than 1.000 years of history
One of Slovenia’s oldest castles with a history spanning more than a thousand years, Bled Castle captivates visitors with its magnificence, stunning location…
Continue your tour at Bled Castle, where you can also leave your car and explore the lake and its surroundings on foot. The castle has more than a thousand years of history to show for it, which is why it invites you to visit its museum collection. It can serve as a resting place after a trip through the Vintgar Gorge, before lunch and a tour of Lake Bled itself.
3. Walk around the lake
From Bled Castle, walk down to the lake around which there is a circular, 6 km long walking trail that will take you an hour to an hour and a half of slow walking (you can also hire a horse-drawn carriage for the journey). Go around the lake in an anti-clockwise direction. The trail is beautifully maintained and offers wonderful views of the island of Bled, numerous viewpoints for great family photos, and terraces for a short break for a good lunch, coffee, or dessert.
Lakeside restaurants (lunch):
Bled Castle Restaurant, Restaurant Sova Bled, Restaurant Julijana, Vila Preseren…
Bled Cremeschnitte
If you’re already in Bled, the Bled Cremeschnitte is one of the things you must try as it is the symbol of Bled cuisine! Before you go any further, you can try it at the Kavarna Park, which is located by the lake itself, to the right of the castle, close to the point where you started your journey around the lake.
4. Visit the famous Bled island
Bled island with its church of the Mother of God is one of the most recognizable Slovenian symbols. The wishing bell is popular among the many visitors who come to the island. When they ring the bell, they recommend themselves to the Mother of God and express their wishes and requests for her to hear them.
Take a ride on the traditional Bled Pletna
Near Kavarna Park, there are several stops for the pletna, which takes tourists to and from the island. A pletna is a handmade wooden boat, 7-8 meters long and about 2 meters wide, with a flat bottom, which is propelled by the helmsman (pletnar) by standing up the oars. The boat is one of the major tourist attractions of Lake Bled.
5. Sunset at Lake Bohinj
Destination address:
Parkirisce, Stara Fuzina 3, Bohinjsko jezero
Crystal clear waters
Lake Bohinj is a 4.2 km long and 1 km wide glacial lake. It is the largest lake in Slovenia fed by numerous streams from the surrounding mountains.
Lake Bohinj is the final destination of the trip. It offers a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. You can take a short walk across the bridge to explore the the lake and Church of St John the Baptist or have dinner in the nearby restaurant called “Restavracija Kramar“.
Get up early because it will be a full-day experience 🙂
We hope you enjoy it.
Have fun,
