Our visit to Lake Bled felt like stepping into a postcard. The serene turquoise waters, framed by snow-capped mountains, created a magical backdrop for our family adventure. Topping it all off was the majestic Castle Bled, perched high on a rocky hill, offering panoramic views that took our breath away.
We began our day at Castle Bled, exploring its rich history and marvelling at the stunning vistas of the Julian Alps and Lake Bled below. The castle itself was a treasure trove of medieval architecture, museums, and even a wine cellar where you can bottle your own wine. The sunshine lit up the lake, creating an ethereal glow, and we couldn’t resist taking dozens of photos from every angle. We spent a couple of hours immersing ourselves in the castle’s charm before heading down to the town for the next part of our adventure.
The Christmas market on the edge of the lake was pure festive magic. Stalls selling handmade gifts, ornaments, and delicious local treats lined the waterfront. The aroma of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and traditional Slovenian dishes filled the air. We decided to have lunch at the market, enjoying a hearty plates of festive food and warming up with cups of hot chocolate.
After lunch, we strolled along the lake’s shoreline, soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and the iconic island church at its centre. The walk was peaceful yet invigorating, a perfect way to work off our meal and take in the beauty of Lake Bled from every angle.
As the day wound down, we reluctantly said goodbye to this enchanting place, knowing it had given us memories to treasure.
If you ever find yourself in Slovenia, make sure this gem is at the top of your list!
