Bled is a town in north-western Slovenia. What makes it distinctive is the beautiful Lake Bled, a glacial lake in the Julian Alps surrounded by forests and mountains. The lake is 2120m long and 1380m wide with a maximum depth of 31 meters.It is so scenic that one cannot be faulted for thinking that it is a piece of Heaven on Earth.
The lake is a beautiful blue and its serenity is such a strong magnet that you don't feel like moving on. I could have sat there and drunk in the beauty of my surroundings without paying heed to time.
In the middle of the huge lake is a small island on which rests an ancient church. This island is an attraction for lovebirds.
On the other side of the lake on top of a steep cliff sits a medieval castle. This castle gives you wonderful vistas of the surrounding countryside.
The castle is a tourist attraction. Within its walls is a restaurant where you can dine and wine high above the lovely lake.
Or you can simply enjoy the panaromic views of the town and the lake.
