Bled Island and the Church of the Assumption of Mary

The only natural island in Slovenia, topped by a 17th-century baroque church with the famous wishing bell. By tradition, the groom carries the bride up 99 steps and rings the bell so their wish may be granted. The island is reached by a traditional boat called a pletna.
