While many arrive in organised groups, increasingly large numbers come independently for a day, a weekend, a week and sometimes even longer. In 2017 there were 1 million overnight stays in this small town. Some people see Bled as a short stopover, just a few hours to visit to the castle, take a short voyage on a pletna to explore the Bled Island, perhaps do a circuit of the lake in a horse drawn carriage. Some only get a snapshot by arriving in coaches to spend a very short time. This guide is aimed at all and any of those people. Whether you spend an afternoon or a week in Bled, this book aims to help you find the best, the hidden and the most exciting aspects of the town whether that be food, drinks, activities, entertainment or sights. I mainly speak directly to the reader and assume you are – even in an organised group – “independent”; that is, you decide what you want to do and where you want to go, are happy to explore something new and don’t mind a few words of advice from people who have been before you and are now coming back. To that end, we travel together and independently. 7 “Every morning, I walk around the lake to my office. Bled is my hometown, but I admire its beauties everyday even more.” Lea Ferjan – Bled Culture Institute 8 INTRODUCTION to 2018 Edition 2018 A year of Culture 2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage and Slovenia is anticipating a year of cultural tourism. Bled is an important part of the county’s heritage – the lake, the castle, the island, the pletna and even Bled cream cake. Many of the events held each year are part of the country’s and the region’s cultural heritage. As are the classical music of Festival Bled to the celebration of the accordion held at the beginning of May to the rowing and skiing events to the Taste Bled menus each summer and so many other occasions,

    Slovenian Alps

    SLOVENIAN ALPS Mangart, Photo by Bor Rojnik Slovenian Alps are truly remarkable, easily discovered by road as well as by trails suitable for hikers and cyclists. Marvellous panoramas, blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests are surely never to be forgotten and are one of the most fascinating tourist spots in Slovenia. The high summits of the Julian Alps, the Karavanken chain and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, open up amazing panoramas of the surrounding territory. It is hardly to find such a blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests, elsewhere in the world within easy reach. The Julian Alps are a mountain range of the great Alps that stretches from northeastern Italy to Slovenia. They cover an estimated 4400 km², of which 1542 km² lies in Slovenia, and rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. The entire mountain range constitutes about 150 mountains and is divided into two sections - the Western Julian Alps and the Eastern Julian Alps. 1 The Triglav National Park, boasting a number of peculiarities, is the largest and the earliest protected natural heritage site in the country. It is located in the north-west of Slovenia, more precisely in the Julian Alps. The park was named after the highest mountain of Slovenia, the Triglav, which is located nearly at the center of the park. It is the only National Park in Slovenia and among the earliest European parks. Pokljuka, is the southernmost highland marsh in Europe and a natural habitat of sphagnum moss. Near Kranjska Gora you can find nature reserve, the Zelenci, whom lakes provide Sava Dolinka with its source.

    Exploring Slovenia's Julian Alps and Beyond

    Exploring Slovenia’s Julian Alps and Beyond Two Treks and Balkan Culture in an Undiscovered Corner of the Alps August 30, 2021 – September 13, 2021 – Trip #2167 Triglav National Park Overview Join us for a wonderful fifteen-day trip to the undiscovered hiking and scenic paradise of Slovenia. We will pass medieval castles, churches, and traditional mountain villages as we walk through valleys, across mountain pastures, and traverse mountain ridges with towering peaks all around us. This trip combines two rugged short treks (one carrying all our gear and staying in mountain huts, and the other staying in hotels with luggage transport), an exciting ascent to Slovenia’s highest peak, and visits to the most scenic and interesting regions of this small, but incredibly beautiful country. A few words about Slovenia itself: it is a small country located in southern central Europe at the intersection of major trade routes and of the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages and cultures. Historically part of many empires including Rome, Austro-Hungarian, Venice, and France, it is currently a prosperous, democratic European country of two million persons. Over 50% of its landmass remains forested. It is exceptionally bio-diverse for its size particularly as pertains to endemic cave species. Slovenia’s Place in Europe Trip Difficulty This trip is rated strenuous #6. Trip Rating System. Excluding breaks we will hike from five to ​ ​ seven hours per day, between 6 and 14 miles, with an average elevation gain of about 2500 feet. The terrain is rugged and steep in places, and requires agility. There will be sections on narrow trails with exposure (steep drop-offs).
