FULL DAY TOUR: Alpine Fairtale - Bled and Bohinj Lakes
Bled is often mentioned as the pearl of the Alpine region due to its emerald-green lake, a church on the island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the 11th century on a cliff above the lake.
After a bus ride around the lake a guided tour of the Bled castle will start. Then we will be taken by Bled's typical "pletna" boat to the island, where you can visit Church of St. Mary and ring its bell for good luck.
The journey will be continued to the largest glacier lake in Slovenia, situated in the region of the Julian Alps mountain range, with the highest Slovene peak (Mt.Triglav) rising above it. After a 15-minute-walk we will reach waterfall Savica, the source of the Sava Bohinjka River and later have enough time to relax at the side of the peaceful Bohinj Lake. You could have lunch by the glacial Alpine lake in the Triglav National Park (supplement).
On the returing back to Ljubljana we will stop to medieval town Škofja Loka, situated under the castle and the monastery and take short walk around the city center.
