Our trip took us from Munich, through Austria, through Slovenia to Croatia. With our fast-paced itinerary, we allotted only 24 hours in Slovenia and decided it would best be utilized around Lake Bled. We 1000% did not regret going to Lake Bled. However, once we got to Slovenia, we wished we could have had more time to see more!
Early morning was spent driving from Salzburg to Lake Bled
First on the list of items to do, was rent a paddle board. There were several paddle boat rental places along the lake and we just walked up to one and rented a boat with no problems
You’ll notice the iconic Bled Island as soon as you see the lake. While you are out paddle boating, stop and visit the island!
You can walk completely around Lake Bled in 1.5-2 hours, depending on how much you stop to admire the lake. It is about 6km (3.73 miles) around the lake and is an easy stroll.
Once you get to the west side of the lake on your stroll around, take the hike up to the Ojstrica viewpoint and Mala Osojnica view point. The most iconic view of Lake Bled is probably located here
After you’ve done all that walking and hiking, have a nice dinner! We found a restaurant along the shores of the lake. We were told we had to have a piece of Lake Bled Cream cake (aka cremeschnitte aka kremna rezina aka kremsnita!!).
The cake can be found at nearly every restaurant around Lake Bled. Pick your favorite and get your slice of cake!
Nearly everywhere I go, I had wished I had more time to explore. This is definitely true with Slovenia! A couple of things we wanted to do that were close to Lake Bled:
If you have more than one 24 hours in Lake Bled, take the time to visit these locations! I hope to be back to do it and I’m already envious of you!
