Lake Bled is located in Slovenia and is a beautiful place to spend a romantic weekend. Those who already know it can confirm, the lake enchants and makes any stay romantic.
The city of Bled is located in Slovenia, 55 kilometers from the small and lively capital Ljubljana. Extremely close is also the resort of Kraniska Gora, famous for the Ski World Cup races held here in winter. Slovenia is a European country that deserves to be discovered, first of all because it borders with Italy, with which it shares several important historical phases: Caporetto, the Isonzo and then because it reserves interesting typically alpine landscapes (at least in this part more north-west dominated by the Julian Alps).
Bled is a pretty town on a lake, the Lake Bled, extremely impressive. The lake is of glacial origins, has inside the only Slovenian island, a small romantic island with a very popular sanctuary that can be reached by typical boats.
All around the lake there is a promenade that can be done either on foot or by bicycle, and higher up, on the fairly steep banks of the lake stands the Castle, symbol of Bled, as well as numerous splendid villas, including the one where Tito loved to spend his holidays, at the time of Yugoslavia.
From Bled, in summer, you can do many active sports, from rafting on the clear waters of Slovenian rivers to canoeing to climbing to mountaineering. If you just want to be tourists, Bled has, in addition to the castle, steep and suggestive streets, spas (the hot springs are right in the lake) several nice shops and parks.
For sleep, especially if you arrived here by car, I suggest the small residence Bledea, The building is immersed in a park where deer also come out to graze in the evening. There are four apartments, with two, three, four beds, with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. Prices: 52 euros for two people per day. The owner speaks Italian.
