Davy SimsSeptember 23, 2014Slovenia is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and Bled is the jewel in its crown. The castle, the island, the church on the island. The food, the people the air. Wonderful place.
Michele NastiAugust 19, 2012this is one of the most beautiful natural places i've seen in the world, maybe similar only to some landscapes in Switzerland! Rent a boat and go to the little Ireland in the lake. It's so romantic!

Richard VongJuly 12, 2014Beyond the only designated swim site (Grajska Beach), most people swim for free and with better views at the Camping Bled site. No lockers but you can change at the free WC and plenty of vendors.
It is hard to look away from such serene beauty. Found myself here again. You can opt to row yourself to the island in the middle or take a Pletna & let the local boy row while u capture lovely pics
- Best time 2 enjoy Lake Bled: I was there b4 9AM, get on the Pletna(boat that takes you to Bled Island) before hordes of tourist arrive between 10 to 11. Very popular with Asian tourists. View: magical
- In my opinion, the Slovenian people are the most friendly and helpful people that I have encountered during my travels, but even the avian locals are just as friendly!❤️
Gabriele GuidoniNovember 2, 2018Absolutely stunning picturesque lake in the Julian Alps, 55km far from Ljubljana. Take a ride on a traditional “pletna” wooden boat and visit the 17th C. “Assumption of Mary” church on Bled Island.
- Take a leisurely stroll around the lake, its about 6KM, depending on speed & how often u will stop for photos. Immense photo opportunities. I took my time about 3 hrs & I stopped 4 the famous Bled 🍰
Marina BuritySeptember 22, 2018Maybe the most touristic spot in Slovenia, but it's worth the hype. Walk around the lake to enjoy it, if it's hot, go for a swim and take the trail Mala Osojnica for the best view.
NmJune 29, 2020One of the most beautiful lakes in Europe .. Breathtaking, Picturesque & Quiet !! A must to visit while in Slovenia ..
Juanxito GómezAugust 7, 2018Amazing and awesome lake!! You can take a walk around, ride a boat, swim or go to the castle. Full of nature and fresh air. Best place ever...
Victor SturzeneggerJune 16, 2017Its a unique sight with the island on the lake. However, slightly touristy and it can be annoying. Not the perfect location for hiking, there are not many trails. Yet, it's worth it for the sight.
muttibeyFebruary 4, 2023This is one of the treasures of the world I must say. It is amazing and very relaxing. Make sure you make trip to the island.
- Francis KinderAugust 24, 2018I recommend the complete walk (6km) around the lake: in around 2h, you'll get all angles of paradise. Unless you stop too much to take photos, of course. No one will blaim you.
StergiosSeptember 4, 2014Spend at least one day in the area. Visit the castle,swim in the lake,sail to the island,spend a couple of hours to the local gorge (approx. 5km away) and then walk around the lake.
Kristina ChelmakinaJuly 20, 2016Definitely worth visiting! spent 4h to go around the lake and went up the castle, seems enough;) you can swim in the lake btw!
Dejan IlićJune 29, 2014Very nice to see. Beautiful old fortress, nice island in the middle of the lake, but not so interesting when you get there and expensive boat ride. I recommend the straw around the lake.
Carl GriffinDecember 27, 2015Stunning lake with a wonderful backdrop of snowcapped mountains. Row out to the island and its church.
Camping BledMay 7, 2013The walk around the lake is about 6km long, no cars allowed on the promenade. Lots of photo opportunities and places to stop and try some traditional food or buy something to remind you of Bled.
RimaApril 21, 2016Scenic views and lovely promenade, relaxing, sunbathing, breathtaking, lovely island in the middle of the lake
Torzin SJune 6, 2019The most famous attraction of Slovenia, early morning is amazing charming when mist reflect the lake.
Anna KoshelJune 30, 2019Magic place with sparkling water surrounded by the mountains! Want to come back! It’s deep lake, but worth to swim there.
Cenker KöseJune 23, 2016I strongly recommend you to hire your own small boat instead of joining to a group on touristic big ones. Then you can enjoy this lovely lake with your independence...
JernejSeptember 18, 2018The ride to island costs reasonable 14€ per person and you pay it on the way back. Whole trip takes around 1h 20min. 40min for trip 40min on island.- Marina BuritySeptember 22, 2018To save money to eat, head to the Mercator on the side of thw lake, there are sandwiches, salads and other items for a picnic
PurutcuuAugust 28, 2014Özenle çizilmiş bir resim gibi. Doğaya saygıyı görebilirsiniz/. Diligently drawn like a picture. You can see the respect for nature.
Nick LongleySeptember 26, 2015Beautiful lake and well worth a visit. Also go to lake Bohinj, less touristy and you can paddle on the lake- Nick LongleySeptember 23, 2015Beautiful spot, well worth a visit. Go for a run around the lake and take a rowboat to the monastery in the middle
Lake is so beautiful whats left to say! Visit the castle for a panoramic view. Island itself is not worth much but the ride is so nice you should do it!
- Jane BosmansApril 11, 2018Rent a boat and afterwards go for a swim in the beautiful lake Bled. Only a bus trip away form Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana.
Yuriy DekabrovAugust 28, 2016Super nice place. Rent a bike and go around. Rent a boat and sail through )
European ParliamentJuly 22, 2014Alpine scenery, emerald rivers, good food and wine: Slovenia is ripe to be discovered by Joe Public. Before that, treat yourself to some of most beautiful scenery this hospitable country offers. Read more
Francesco Paolo FumarolaApril 12, 2023Runners! Almost perfect 6km around the lake, pretty flat and stunning view
BernerJuly 26, 2013Do yourself a favor and stay in Triglav. Bled is good for a few hours but too kitschy for overnight
Goran KeserovicDecember 26, 2015We had a nice sunny weather in December. A slow walk around the lake (cca 1.5h), you can rent a boat.
N PJune 29, 2012Awesome lake to walk jog or cycle. There are also some nice abandoned sites there and you can rent boats.
Abdul .September 22, 2015Thank god I knew about this place and spent sometime there. Lake Bled is a jewel. Loved it so much.
Ruby HuangJune 18, 2014A lovely lake with beautiful swans and ducks. They are not afraid of people at all! :)
Nastja StaceyFebruary 17, 2015You will be lucky if the lake is not in fog :) anyway, just an amazing place
Kaitlin YapchaianJuly 24, 2019In mid-July there’s a festival where they light up the lake with 10,000 candles in eggshells on the water.

The lake was formed after the recession of the Bohinj glacier. It is up to 2120 m long and up to 1380 m wide, its maximum depth being 30.6 m and tectonic in origin. After the last Ice Age, the Bohinj glacier deepened the natural tectonic hollow and gave into its present form.
