Pay a visit to Bled, a resort...
by DrewV
Pay a visit to Bled, a resort town in the Julian Alps of northwestern Slovenia. The town itself is set on a pristine turquoise-green lake complete with a beautiful island church and fairy-tale castle. The place is heavenly, and if you go in late July, you might find the lakeside grills in full force. The smells of grilled meats is intoxicating.
The little island
by Azhut
The picture I put in here shows the little island in the western part of the lake. This island has a church in the middle and is possible to reach it by boat in few minutes. This island is one of the symbols of Bled and gives to the whole area a romantic scenary.
Tourist informations
by vesna04
There is a tourist office in the center of the yown but you can also check the several tourist-travel agencies if you would like to do some organized tours or to find the accomodation. This is one that was very helpful to us-they found us a nice accomodation as we were not satisfied with one that we prebooked.

The road less travelled
by maple_air
..........is not this one in the picture!...this is probably a walk in the the park. This is the main, cemented road leading to Bled castle.
We came off from a small street near St. Martin Church, we asked some local the road leading to the castle and he pointed towards the hostel.Beside it is this trail carved on the side of hill where the castle is, through the woods. It might be an easy trail for those who are used to hiking. ......But not for us.....imagine hiking up, through the woods on a trail that looked like it was 100 years ago since someone walked through it. Then it started raining heavily...everytime i take a small step, my little feet slides off my flip-flops. But this was probably my most unforgettable experience on this trip....ending in the middle of nowhere, a trail where i havent' read in any guide books...nothin' beats life's little surprises.....talking and laughing with my bestfriend... the trees..... the rain.
If You Feel Hungry...

Here, the photo of the restaurant on the Castle Bled.
If you feel hungry, have some drinks.
The photo was taken from the museum window.
Yes, there's a museum as well.
A large collection of armours & weapons, from the 16th to 18th century in the museum.
Carvings, jewelleries could also be seen, all from the excavations around this castle from the last few centuries.
