Slovenia is a small sub-Alpine country with
two million inhabitants, situated between Austria, Italy,
Croatia and Hungary. Slovenia, a green and diverse
country that lies between the Alps, the Mediterranean,
and the Pannonian plain, embraces all the beauties of
the old Continent.
Waiting for you are snow - covered mountains and a
piece of the Mediterranean coast, beautiful karst caves
and thermal springs, deep gorges created by clear
mountain rivers, wide vistas of slow flowing rivers,
mountain lakes and disappearing karst lakes, ancient
villages and medieval towns, old castles and modern
entertainment centres, innumerable vineyards producing
top quality wines, and even mysterious primeval
forests.
You can travel through time all day in museums, castles,
churches, and galleries. Today you can enjoy the
peace of a farm holiday and tomorrow experience an
international cultural event. Slovenia is truly colourful.

Bled and its lake lie in the north-western part of
Slovenia at an altitude of 501 metres. The lake has an
area of 1.45 km2 with a maximum depth of 30,6 metres.
An Island in the western part of the Lake makes
the town and its surroundings even more picturesque.
The fertile land and the safe protection of the Castle
hill and the island have invited man to settle at Bled
from time immemorial.
Nowadays Bled is a well-known tourist resort with many
cultural and natural monuments in its neighbourhood.
Every visitor to Bled should visit the old Bled Castle,
proudly towering on a sheer rock above the Lake. The
Island with its Church of the Assumption can be reached
by a typal boat, found only at Lake Bled, called pletna.
Coachmen called fjakerji can take you for a drive around
the Lake and to the Bled Castle. Many other trips to
near and far surroundings are possible, the most beautiful
one is to Triglav National Park in the vicinity.
Come and discover it!
