Adventure Slovenia

We will start our day with a hike along Blejski vintgar, a trail carved into the vertical walls of surrounding hills and lined with waterfalls, pools, and rapids created by the Radovna River.

Our journey continues with a visit to Bled – undoubtedly the most popular tourist site in Slovenia situated on Lake Bled which boasts the only real island in the country. To get there, we will board a traditional wooden oared boat called pletna, whose origins date back as far as the 12th century. A monumental 1655 stone staircase will take us to the Church of Mary’s Assumption situated at the island’s highest point. We can then make a wish to the sound of the wishing bell set up in 1534 and taste the fresh water from the well built in honor of a princess who passed away prematurely.

We will proceed with a leisurely walk to the Bled Castle built high up on a magnificent cliff overlooking the lake. According to written sources, this is the oldest castle in Slovenia and was first mentioned in written records as early as 1011. The former residential quarters now host a restaurant and a museum collection with objects depicting the region’s historical development from the Bronze Age to present day.

On our way back from the castle we will take a break to enjoy a delicious slice of Bled’s traditional cream cake. In warm summer months, adrenaline lovers can go for a ride on the sledge slide.

Continuing our journey, we will head to Bohinj to taste some of the traditional dishes from this region, including cheese dumplings, sauerkraut with corn mush, Bohinj cheese etc. We will then visit the Savica waterfall originating from a 120-meter-long cave and cascading into a 78-meter-high double waterfall. To conclude the day, you can discover the beauty of this extraordinary glacier lake Bohinj from a boat, canoe or kayak.
