Things to Do in Lake Bled when You Visit Slovenia, Bled, Slovenia

There are several great things to do in Lake Bled. It’s a destination that had been on both our bucket lists for a very long time. And we are delighted to say we weren’t disappointed. The setting is even more picturesque in real life.

Located on the edge of the Triglav National Park, Lake Bled with its crystal clear waters, a tiny island, mountainous backdrop, and castle perched high on a hillside makes an ideal getaway. It’s easy to see why this place is so popular.

If you enjoy hiking, Lake Bled is packed with various viewpoints and trails. Our original plan was to take a long hike in the mountains, but alas, the weather wasn’t cooperating.

To the accompaniment of distant thunder, we took the Ojstrica Bled Trail which offers a stunning view of the lake from the lookout point. Even if you are not into walking, we really recommend this hike for its vistas.

Once you start the Ojstrica trail, it takes around 20-40 minutes to reach the top. The path as it weaves its way through the forest is easy to follow.

After about 15-20 minutes, you’ll see a signpost for Ojstrica. Turn right at this sign and follow the path for a few more minutes. The last part of the climb is a little tricky but not too difficult. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
