Bled Castle

Next we drove up to Bled Castle on a cliff overlooking the lake. It is unclear exactly when the castle was first built. Recorded history extends back to 10 April 1004, when the German King Henry II (later Holy Roman Emperor) conferred the estate of Bled in the province of Carniola on Bishop Albuin of Brixen and his church. In 1011 Henry II awarded Albuin's successor, Adalberon, the castle on the cliff (Castellum Veldes), in a charter.

Also included are pictures of Lake Bled Cream Cake (which Carole found delicious). We also sampled the local Slovenian beer.Baca lagi
