The mountain Lake Bled attracts not only day visitors from Ljubljana, but also holiday makers in summer, while in the winter the resort offers skiing as well. We drive around the lake to the castle on the cliff above the lake. Per request you can also take a boat ride to the island in the middle of the lake with the traditional Bled boat called a pletna. The island has a church with a “wishing bell” and the legend says that anyone who rings the bell three times, will have his or her wish come true. Bled is well known for a vanilla-and-cream cake served as a local speciality.
Not far from the lake is Blejski Vintgar, the remarkable natural gorge of the river Radovna. Formed during the Ice Age by the same glacier that carved out the entire Bohinj Valley, Vintgar Gorge is one of the area’s hidden gems. You can walk along the picturesque gorge over wooden bridges and along galleries by the rushing river Radovna for 1600 m, at the end of which you will see the 26-metre waterfall Šum.
On the way to Ljubljana, we will stop in the medieval town of Radovljica, where we will visit the 500-year-old House of Tradition Lectar and its shop. Here we recommend having a break for a traditional Slovenian lunch. After returning we walk through the medieval, baroque and Secession areas of Ljubljana which in 2014 is to celebrate 2,000 years since the founding of Emona, the Roman settlement on the site where Ljubljana stands today.
