A visit to the gorgeous Alpine Lake Bled, followed by a tour of the Vintgar Gorge, provides an unmatched display of natural beauty.
Bled is one of the most beloved tourist destinations in Slovenia, and with good reason. It’s a quaint and historic town – truly a first-class Alpine pearl. It is adjoined by the stunning Lake Bled, a sweeping expanse of emerald green waters surrounding Bled Island. You’ll feel as though you’ve been transported into a fairy tale. The island is home to a few different buildings, chiefly among them the Assumption of Mary church, constructed in the Gothic style. Make a wish when you ring the church bell and it just might come true! It’s a romantic backdrop that is popular among newlyweds and anyone looking for a memorable photograph. The lake also offers an abundance of sports and other activities to keep you playing all day long. The tour will take you around the lake so you can enjoy the crisp mountain air and watch the swans swim gracefully across the water. You will see Bled Castle overlooking the lake, which is allegedly the oldest castle in Slovenia. We will amble past a few other sights before stopping for a scrumptious local treat: a vanilla and custard cream cake called cremeschnitte (kremšnita). You will have no shortage of photo opportunities of the lake, the island with its beautiful church, the castle towering above, and the Alps in the backdrop.
Travelling around 4 kilometres northwest of Bled, we will come to the lovely Vintgar Gorge, which was carved long ago by the sweeping Radovna River. Flanked by the majestic hills of Hom and Boršt, the gorge stretches 1.6 kilometres long, decorated by waterfalls, whirlpools, and rapids. We will hike the trail that takes us over the gorge on a wooden bridge to the Žumer galleries and the gorgeous Šum waterfall, one of only three river waterfalls in Slovenia, standing at 13 metres tall. The gorge abounds with natural beauty in the form of dancing water, trees, waterfalls, erosion pots and other natural sensations.
