FULL DAY TOUR: Bled and Vintgar Gorge
Bled's major attractions are a lake of glacial origin with an island in the middle and a castle which history dates back to the 1th century. At Mlino port we will board traditional pletna boat and ride to the Bled Island and back. On the island you can visit Church of St. Mary and ring its bell for good luck.
Continue to visit Bled Castle and enjoy beautiful panoramic view of Bled lake, you can visit the castle museum, herbal shop, printing shop etc.
Free time for lunch (supplement), when you could try one of the typical dishes in Gorenjska - the lakes and mountains region: "zganci"- these groats made of buckwheat, barley or corn. You can also try different soups, štruklji and of course-famous kremšnita, well known as a vanilla-and-cream cake served as a local speciality.
After free time we will proceed to breathtaking Bled’s Vintgar, a winding gorge formed by the Radovna river, which is known for its beautiful waterfalls, pools and rapids. Light trekking (aprox. 1 hour) through the valley.
