The Slovenian Alps


Both lay there, exhausted yet relieved, lights flashed in the distance. Faint at first, we were able to convince ourselves that the flashes were extreme bursts of energy from the powerful Slovenian fireflies. As the thunder started to roar, and raindrops spattered on our faces, they washed away all our admiration for this pretended species. After finally stopped, the air smells like kneeling on the ground and fresh cut grass. Everything was quiet. We were surrounded by gorgeous mountains looking down to the most spectacular niche on earth. In a feat is difficult, but worth a hundred times more. With dim moonlight illuminates reflective acceptance waters of Lake Bled, we soaked peacefully now.


Here you can enjoy the curious charm of quaint restaurants and Church of the Assumption of Mary. Visiting Bled island would not be complete without the usual climb 99 steps to the church and ringing the bell, wishing to hopes for free! Bled Castle Perched on a rocky outcropping over the lake, is the oldest castle in Slovenia in accordance with written sources dating from 1011. Occupying a strategic and scenic location, Bled Castle has long been a conference site for political figures in Slovenian history. Today, the castle offers visitors a dining experience 130 m above Lake Bled. He also hosts a museum in baroque rooms, cellar and gallery grass for those who want to bring home a taste of Bled.

The best time of year to visit Lake Bled in May when it was still too cool for mosquitoes, but just cold enough for thick sleeping bag.At any time during the period from June to September is also a good bet, as there are plenty of outdoor activities to participate in and time allows for hours of enjoyment of the lake.
