Highlights
Description
From Ljubljana we travel to the Alpine region below the Julian Alps, until we will reach Bled. Here you have 3 options:
- Ascend the old castle perched on top of a steep cliff above the glacial Lake Bled. Castle terraces offer spectacular views of the lake and its tiny island in the middle.
- Ride ‘Pletna’ – the traditional boat made by locals - and reach the only true island in Slovenia.
- Visit the breathtaking beauty of Bled’s Vintgar gorge, where a wooden path will take you along the rushing river Radovna through the picturesque gorge, measuring 1600m and ending with a 26-meter waterfall Sum.
Then, continue to Bohinj, the largest glacial lake located in the Triglav National Park. Swim, canoe, or simply walk around it. The lake’s natural environment will present itself differently each season. After tasting the exquisite sour milk or famous Bled’s cream cake, stop in Skofja Loka, one of the oldest Slovenian towns, have a walk around this medieval and charming town, situated under the castle and the monastery.
