Bled, Slovenia

27 September 2025, Saturday We walked to the local bus station, took the Vintgar shuttle to the Vintgar Gorge. Wore our mandatory rock helmets as we hiked thru this very picturesque gorge. It's a one way trail so we hiked back on the "King of Triglav" trail to the little church of St, Caterina, where we snacked looking over a view of cows with bells to the village (Zasip) and the valley beyond, including Bled. Walked back to Bled on a country road (about 1 1/2 miles) past cows and a large sunflower field, pretty homes, and interesting drying racks which we later learned were for drying hay. A little later we returned to the lakeshore for a boat ride (fellow with oars) out to Slovenia's only island, the island in lake Bled that has a church - which has only two ​​​​services each year but does serve for weddings and such things. On return to the shore we bought a take home avocado salad, returned to the bnb and had a nice dinner with some other food items we had bought during the day. Czytaj więcej
