SloveniaBled Lake - The lake is of mixed glacial and tectonic origin. It is 2,120 m long and 1,380 m wide, with a maximum depth of 29.5 m. The World Rowing Championships were held here in 1966, 1979, 1989, and 2011 and next month the European Rowing Championships will be held here.
SloveniaBled Island (Blejski otok) - we took the easy option and paid for someone else to do the rowing over to the island. The island has several buildings, the main one being the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, built in its current form near the end of the 17th century. The church has a 52 m tower and there is a Baroque stairway from 1655 with 99 stone steps leading up to theRead more
SloveniaSpent the day at beautiful Lake Bled, much busier and more tourist centred than where we are staying at Bohinj. Bled Castle sits on a lofty height above the lake and in the middle of the lake on an island sits The Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary. As it's an Eco lake we travelled to the island on a row boat called a Pletna which is an alpine boat for 18 People and rowed at the back byRead more
SloveniaTour of the castle. Foggy day. I had really hoped to hit Bled on a sunny day as it is purported to be gorgeous. Not to be though. We got to use the Gutenberg printing press to print our own castle print - very cool. Tried to show part of the video here. FindPenguins limits lengths of videos. Now in our way to Ljubljana for a city tour - driving through the rain. Only one more day left on our trip,Read more

Schon oft sind wir auf unserem Weg nach Kroatien an Bled vorbeigefahren.
Nun wollten wir hier mal stehen bleiben und den Herbst geniessen.
Und wir wollten Glamping ausprobieren. Luxuscamping in schönster Natur.

Gleich nach unserer Ankunft haben wir einen Ruderer engagiert, der uns auf die Klosterinsel in der Mitte des Sees fährt.
Wie ihr seht, unsere asiatischen Freunde begleiten uns auf Schritt und Tritt. Denen ist nichts zu teuer. Uns schon. Aber zu spät, kassiert wird auf der Rückfahrt.
Und jetzt ist auch das Rätsel der durchgängig läutenden Kirchenglocken gelöst. Auf der Insel gibt es auf demRead more
SloveniaWe enjoyed a night of luxury and relaxation at the grand old iconic Toplice Hotel right on the shore of Lake Bled. This building has an amazing history and is built on top of a natural thermal spring so swimming in the pool felt therapeutic and memorable.
SloveniaNachdem das Wochenende mal kurz einen Ausflug in den Herbst gemacht hat, wurden wir ab Montag wieder mit herrlichem Wetter entschädigt. So war auch ein Ausflug in die Berge und eine Seilfahrt auf den Vogel möglich. Der Campingplatz ist empfehlenswert, die Sanitäranlagen sehr gut und gepflegt. Hier sind wir 3 Nächte geblieben.

Last day in Lake Bled! Nice weather today so we finally decided to take a boat out to the island in the centre of the lake. 14 euros each which was a bit pricey, but at least Schnitzel was free! Just us and an older American couple on the boat so we had a nice little chat to them, they were fairly well-travelled as well which was good.
The island itself was a slight let-down, as there isn't muchRead more
