Itinerary description
Physical difficulty: 2/5
Technical difficulty: 1/5
Note #1: Parking around lake Bled is almost exclusively of the paid type. It's also expensive (several € per hour). The only free and very limited parking spots is at the row of trees near the railway station.
Note #2: Lake Bled is as touristy as it gets. Don't expect to be able to enjoy the views at the top alone, there will always be a bunch of people - at least in the warmer months of the year.
Note #3: We don't recommend to take trail in reverse, because some sections are noticeably steeper going in that direction.
--
The trail starts at the Velika Zaka beach (north side of the lake bank). It goes up a hill and visits 3 peaks - Ojstrica, Velika Osojnica and Mala Osojnica. The view of the lake is very impressive, and the surrounding nature is breathtaking.
The view is arguably the best from Mala Osojnica; Velika Osojnica doesn't have a view, but there is a panorama spot a few minutes from it.
It's not technically difficult, as the paths are plain and very clear. But, the terrain is pretty steep almost all the time.
