Overview

Embark on a private trip to Bled, a top Slovenian destination nestled in the Julian Alps, north-western Slovenia. Upon reaching the town of Bled, make your way to the breathtaking glacial Lake Bled. Take a Pletna boat to explore the Church of the Assumption located on the island at its center, visit Bled Castle, and hike up to the Mala Osojnica viewpoint. Be sure to indulge in kremšnita, the traditional Bled cream cake before heading to Vintgar Gorge, situated within Triglav National Park. Lake Bled, associated with a group of playful fairies, and the nearby Bled Castle, was first documented in the 11th century during the rule of the bishop of Brixen. In the early 19th century, the lake started to draw visitors due to its sparkling blue, crystal-clear waters and the enchanting alpine forests surrounding it. Coupled with a small island at its center featuring the striking Church of the Assumption, Lake Bled has become a premier Slovenian destination today. The medieval Baroque church, with its 54-meter tower and three bells made from Ljubljana, has been preserved since the 17th century after being damaged by an earthquake. No trip to Bled is complete without experiencing the stunning views from Bled Castle, which was built in 12th century. Discover the medieval castle perched on a steep cliff, complete with a chapel, museum, and wine cellar before heading to Mala Osojnica or Vintgar Gorge.
