We ventured through Austria into Slovenia to spend the long early November weekend in Lake Bled. The city of Bled is a quintessential area to visit in Eastern Europe. The aerial views from the Bled Castle, and the Bell Tower of the Assumption of Mary Church on the islet are amazing. The Julian Alps look down upon beautiful Lake Bled with its activity of the rare breed of “quieter trumpeting” Swans, busy ducks, tourists with cameras, and the paddle propelled boats traversing the lake. The stops along the walkable trails that circumference the lake, boast of delicious seafood from the Adriatic Sea, heavy Slovenian meals of meat, potatoes, and bread, and food from around the world. The delicious Slovenian cream cake did not disappoint either. We enjoyed our trip to Lake Bled, and look forward to returning again during spring or early summer.
