WHAT TO DO
When travelling to Bled and planning to stay for a few days, we recommend renting a car to explore the area more fully. There are many sights worth seeing nearby. Our favourite is walking around the lake, which takes about an hour along a beautiful pathway right by the water.
For stunning views of Bled Island, hike up to Bled Castle, perched high on a cliff. An even better view can be found by hiking up Mala Osojnica. The hike isn’t long, but good shoes are essential.
Bled offers more than just hiking and beautiful scenery. For an unforgettable experience, try a family-friendly rafting adventure—you won’t regret it!
You can also take a day trip to Lake Bohinj, another beautiful and even larger lake in this part of Slovenia. While buses are available, renting a car is the easiest way to get there.
