May 25,2013 Lake Bled

Above the far end of the lake are the Julian Alps covered in snow and standing over Lake Bled.

In the middle of the lake sits a small island which has a small church you can visit.The only way to the island is by the plentna boats.You also can rent a row boat and row your self across if the weather is good,which it wasn't.The church also has a romantic twist as many brides and grooms venture over there where the tradition is for the groom to carry the bride up the 99 steps to the church.

Bled also has a castle that sits on the edge of a cliff.it's over 1000 years old and at one time was the seat of the Austrian Bishops who controlled Bled in the middle ages.

We loved this area of Slovenia with all it's beauty.If the weather had been better it would of made it even more enjoyable.
