The 6 Best Things to Do in Bled, Slovenia
With its iconic fairy-tale church steeple perched atop the tiny rock island at the middle of Lake Bled, Bled is a sight that stays in your memory. The town has also long been a destination for those seeking relaxation, through its sunny alpine air and thermal springs, which are especially welcoming after a day of mountain trekking, golf or touring on horseback.

This is not for the faint hearted, nor those who aren’t reasonably fit. Although Google Maps will tell you it’s 20 minutes up from the lake, I would give yourselves about 40-50 minutes to reach the top.
It’s extremely steep and there are parts which are rather treacherous. Ensure you take water and appropriate footwear!

We visited with 2 children in July. There is loads of parking on a mountain meadow nearby, though there are plenty of buses too. Queue was a little slow to pay entrance fee. It's hot and sunny, but there is plenty of shady sections. It's absolutely beautiful. Stop half way along and go to the river bank and build stone cairns. Keep walking to the very end. Walk down the steps on the end of the high bridge to play in the river below, or walk across the bridge and follow the path through the woods to the river below. Have a well deserved ice cream on the bridge. Enjoy the view again on the way back! Nice drive through the countryside on the way back to Bled, just a few miles away. Highly recommended.
3. Straza Bled
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 414 reviews
Straza is a smaller hill most suitable for a relaxing walk and summer or winter sport activities. It is considered to be the most beautiful viewpoint in the area that offers incredible view of the city of Bled, lake Bled, castle and surrounding Mountains. In summer you can enjoy in adrenaline-drenched sledding (summer tobogganing) or visit Adventure Park. You can take a relaxing walk through meadows and woods on the Rikli Fitness Trail. In winter you can ski on a small, but settled ski slope that is lit for night skiing and offers organized ski school, equipment rental and Sporty's Children Snow Park. Straza ski slope is accessible by car or by foot as it is only a few minutes' walk from the center of Bled.

We visited Straza on th 2nd September 2017 and it drizzling. Chairlift was closed so we went up the hill on foot. The view from the top is stunning but everthing was closed due to the drizzle. My suggestion is to visit in fine weather.

Beautiful lake with great paths round, even with all the snow that they had, someone had cleared all the paths of snow, so we enjoyed our walk into the town of Bled. We took some great photos of the little church on the island and the lake.

It poured rain whole day when I visited. Still beautiful view with dreamy haze and raindrops. I went there because everyone goes there, no other reason. Castle is under renovation. Entrance is 11 euro. I had a nice walk around the lake. It took me 1 hour +20 min more maybe. In total 3 hrs including, visit the castle is OK. It is really small town and they have good pizzeria. Staff are lovely.
