Lake Bled

The lake was formed after the recession of the Bohinj glacier. It is up to 2120 m long and up to 1380 m wide, its maximum depth being 30.6 m and tectonic in origin. After the last Ice Age, the Bohinj glacier deepened the natural tectonic hollow and gave into its present form.

Slovenia is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and Bled is the jewel in its crown. The castle , the island , the church on the island . The food, the people the air. Wonderful place.

Michele Nasti

this is one of the most beautiful natural places i've seen in the world, maybe similar only to some landscapes in Switzerland! Rent a boat and go to the little Ireland in the lake . It's so romantic !

Richard Vong

Beyond the only designated swim site (Grajska Beach ), most people swim for free and with better views at the Camping Bled site. No lockers but you can change at the free WC and plenty of vendors.

It is hard to look away from such serene beauty. Found myself here again. You can opt to row yourself to the island in the middle or take a Pletna & let the local boy row while u capture lovely pics

Best time 2 enjoy Lake Bled: I was there b4 9AM, get on the Pletna(boat that takes you to Bled Island ) before hordes of tourist arrive between 10 to 11. Very popular with Asian tourists . View : magical

Se7enthAngel

In my opinion, the Slovenian people are the most friendly and helpful people that I have encountered during my travels, but even the avian locals are just as friendly !❤️

Gabriele Guidoni

Absolutely stunning picturesque lake in the Julian Alps, 55km far from Ljubljana. Take a ride on a traditional “pletna” wooden boat and visit the 17th C. “Assumption of Mary” church on Bled Island .

Nm

One of the most beautiful lakes in Europe .. Breathtaking, Picturesque & Quiet !! A must to visit while in Slovenia ..

Marina Burity

Maybe the most touristic spot in Slovenia , but it's worth the hype. Walk around the lake to enjoy it, if it's hot, go for a swim and take the trail Mala Osojnica for the best view .

Se7enthAngel

Take a leisurely stroll around the lake , its about 6KM, depending on speed & how often u will stop for photos. Immense photo opportunities . I took my time about 3 hrs & I stopped 4 the famous Bled 🍰

Stergios

Spend at least one day in the area. Visit the castle ,swim in the lake ,sail to the island ,spend a couple of hours to the local gorge (approx. 5km away) and then walk around the lake .

Juanxito Gómez

Amazing and awesome lake !! You can take a walk around, ride a boat, swim or go to the castle . Full of nature and fresh air . Best place ever...

Victor Sturzenegger

Its a unique sight with the island on the lake . However, slightly touristy and it can be annoying. Not the perfect location for hiking , there are not many trails . Yet, it's worth it for the sight.

muttibey

This is one of the treasures of the world I must say. It is amazing and very relaxing. Make sure you make trip to the island .

Carl Griffin

Stunning lake with a wonderful backdrop of snowcapped mountains . Row out to the island and its church .

Francis Kinder

I recommend the complete walk (6km) around the lake : in around 2h, you'll get all angles of paradise. Unless you stop too much to take photos, of course. No one will blaim you.

Anna Koshel

Magic place with sparkling water surrounded by the mountains ! Want to come back! It’s deep lake , but worth to swim there.

Dejan Ilić

Very nice to see. Beautiful old fortress, nice island in the middle of the lake , but not so interesting when you get there and expensive boat ride . I recommend the straw around the lake .

Kristina Chelmakina

Definitely worth visiting! spent 4h to go around the lake and went up the castle , seems enough;) you can swim in the lake btw!

Camping Bled

The walk around the lake is about 6km long, no cars allowed on the promenade. Lots of photo opportunities and places to stop and try some traditional food or buy something to remind you of Bled.

Rima

Scenic views and lovely promenade, relaxing, sunbathing , breathtaking, lovely island in the middle of the lake

European Parliament

Torzin S

The most famous attraction of Slovenia , early morning is amazing charming when mist reflect the lake .

Cenker Köse

I strongly recommend you to hire your own small boat instead of joining to a group on touristic big ones. Then you can enjoy this lovely lake with your independence...

Yuriy Dekabrov

Super nice place. Rent a bike and go around. Rent a boat and sail through )

Vassilis N

Lake is so beautiful whats left to say! Visit the castle for a panoramic view . Island itself is not worth much but the ride is so nice you should do it!

Dimitra

Beautiful place to spend the weekend. Rent a boat and reach the island .

Beautiful lake and well worth a visit. Also go to lake Bohinj, less touristy and you can paddle on the lake

Nick Longley

Beautiful spot, well worth a visit. Go for a run around the lake and take a rowboat to the monastery in the middle

Jane Bosmans

Rent a boat and afterwards go for a swim in the beautiful lake Bled. Only a bus trip away form Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana.

Jernej

The ride to island costs reasonable 14€ per person and you pay it on the way back. Whole trip takes around 1h 20min. 40min for trip 40min on island .

Marina Burity

To save money to eat, head to the Mercator on the side of thw lake , there are sandwiches , salads and other items for a picnic

Francesco Paolo Fumarola

Runners! Almost perfect 6km around the lake , pretty flat and stunning view

Abdul .

Thank god I knew about this place and spent sometime there. Lake Bled is a jewel. Loved it so much.

In mid-July there’s a festival where they light up the lake with 10,000 candles in eggshells on the water.
