It was also the Slovenian Alps one, and for the north-west area of Slovenia, so it’s very big and very complete. It was redone entirely when I went by in the fall of 2014.
Bled is the most touristic city in Slovenia after Ljubjana. It seems that in the last few years, the city has lost some of its cultural diversity; many young people confided that 15 years ago there were a lot more artistic festivals, concerts that brought in a lot of people from everywhere. There was the touristic Bled, but it didn’t prevent young people to make it their own either.
I went through it too fast too really make my mind up about it. I did however, enjoy the warmth of the welcome, and the tourism office’s touristic offer which was very well done; I enjoyed my meal at the Triglav Hotel (not cheap) and the view over the lake is immutable jewel.

Perched on a cliff, Bled’s medieval castle was built in the 11th century, and looks over the lake from a height of 125 meters.
In the middle of the lake, a church on a little island. The story is that there used to be pagan rituals here, and the Catholics tried to impose their laws by putting a church right in the middle of it.

A restaurant that shouldn’t be missed out on, for the setting and the wines first, the food is also good, but doesn’t always hit the spot.
