Lake Bled

Lake Bled has only one island but its uniqueness makes it more attractive than many an archipelago. Its charm has made it a symbol of a town to which guests travel from all over the world and love to return. This town, which has already existed for a thousand years, is Bled.

Famous at the beginning of the 20th century as the most beautiful health spa of the then Austrian empire, Bled attracts the European aristocratic elite. After WWII, one of the most attractive state residences of the former regime was located in Bled. Many of the world's most important people thus enjoyed its beauty and now, for decades, pilgrims of a new age have been discovering this town.

Cosmopolitan seekers of diversity and beauty, of relaxation and inspiration, tranquillity and the challenges of sport will find a multitude of opportunities. Walking and coaching trails around the lake, traditional boats, ringing the island's wishing bell, the castle treasures, the nearby ski pistes, mountain trails, golf courses, hunting, fishing, the casino, congress facilities - all of these are but fragments of Bled's attraction, which is truly worth experiencing. And those who experience it, long for it again and again…
