Bled Hotels

The lake is unlike any other waterway in Central Europe. A mere 55 km from the beautiful capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, Lake Bled offers fairy tale environs for those in need of tranquil escape from the city. Lush forests and hill slopes line the shores of the spectacular lake and set the scenic tone for the church monuments on Bled Island. Accessible by traditional barge, the island is frequently in use by nuptials and evokes the elusive look and feel of a romantic, bygone era. More nostalgia is on hand courtesy of Bled Castle. Built on a craggy precipice over Lake Bled, the medieval castle compound is well over 1,000 years old and as such, is one of the most venerable landmarks in the country. Replete with a moat, drawbridge, chapel and Romanesque tower, Bled Castle is a dramatic point of interest in a nonpareil part of Slovenia. While the town of Bled is itself a wonderful place to explore, it also fills in as a convenient gateway to magnificent Triglav National Park.
