Lake Bled is an excellent example of how enticing Slovenia can be. It looks just like a scene from your favourite fairy story, with its castle-like church, sitting in the middle of a piercing, emerald green lake.
This destination is fab to see year-round. During the cooler months it’s possible to ice-skate on the lake to your heart’s content, and in summer you can row across it whilst soaking up the magical 360-degree countryside views that surround you. You’ll witness some of the tallest peaks of the Julian Alps too, as well as Bled Castle, which is perched atop the cliffs of the lake.
