As a result of late planning, we were unable to find accomodation in Bled and ended up just taking a day trip to the mountains and the lake. As you can see, we were disappointed that we couldn't spend more time there.
This picture is taken from the castle, perched on the cliffs at one end of the lake. You can row yourself out to the island in a rented boat and visit the church and ring the bell for luck. We settled for climbing up to the castle and seeing the picturesque panoramic views with the mountains behind. Our next journey was to Vintgar Gorge, only 2 km away. We had to walk through all these local houses, all colouful with flower boxes. Even the bus shelters in Slovenia have flower boxes!
The gorge itself was very scenic, although you have to imagine it without people! There is a wooden path built along the gorge wall and bridges across in 4 places. After the first km, most people had turned back so we were left to enjoy the scenery on our own as we walked over the hill and back to Bled. *Stub
