Bled is a gem of the Slovenian Alps, whose history stretches back to the time when the dukes of Bietenburg used it as a summer retreat as early as the 11th century. Nestled beside a glacial lake with its famous island and Church of the Mother of God, this town takes your breath away with its unique combination of mountains, turquoise waters, and a medieval castle rising above it all. Visit Bled for its beautiful hiking trails, rides in traditional wooden boats, and the famous cream cake that has become the symbol of this place.
