Bled - what to see, where to go?

Things to see in Bled

Lake Bled

If I learned correctly, Lake Bled is the warmest Alpine lake. On hot summer days, it reaches a temperature of up to 26°C (on the surface), and it maintains a temperature suitable for swimming (18°C) even until the end of October. In cold winters, the lake freezes and is a real paradise for all lovers of ice skating and activities on the ice. With an area of 1.45 square kilometers, this is the 2nd largest permanent natural lake in Slovenia. It is slightly more than 2 kilometers long and almost 1400 meters wide. Its depth, in the deepest part, exceeds 30 meters. Of course, the lake is also suitable for swimming and other joys on and in the water.

Bled island

The island of Bled is, at least as far as I know, the only natural island in Slovenia. It is composed of limestone rocks and is the result of an active glacier and a river that once flowed past it. The island has an area of 820 square meters and rises 18 meters above the surface of the lake. The island has been protected as a monument of national importance since 1999.
