Discover the hidden treasures of serene lakes and embark on unforgettable adventures that will leave you awestruck.

This Alpine lake with the only island in Slovenia has been a world-renowned paradise for centuries, impressing visitors with its natural beauty, wealth of legend, and special powers to restore well-being. Look out at the lake from a castle on a cliff and visit the island on a traditional “pletna” boat. Traditional wooden boats – pletnas – have been taking visitors to the island in the middle of the lake for centuries. These boats are operated by standing rowers known as pletnars. After landing, guests climb 99 stone steps to reach the Assumption of Mary Church. On this island, which is the subject of legendary tales, listen to the church bell and ring it yourself. Legend has it that this will make your wishes come true. As you return to the lake shore, view the island on the lake from the castle or from the walking and horse-carriage trails that lead you around the lake. Take a ride with Bled coachmen, known as fijakers! #beautifulearth #bucketlist #worldexplorer #wishlist #explore #explorer #exploreslovenia #explorelakes #tourism #traveltheworld #travel #tourist #liveslovenia #loveslovenia Credits: @tolar.janez (at Lake Bled)
