Itinerary description

Show original
Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful in Slovenia and because of its beauty, one of the most touristic to say the least. In fact, during the summer season it is very crowded with tourists from Slovenia and the rest of Europe, which makes parking in the village difficult. In our case, we were able to leave the car next to the stadium and from there go around the whole lake.

You start walking uphill, along the access road to the castle, you don't have to get there, you pass by some buildings, you enter a sandy parking lot and immediately you have to enter the forest, to a path that immediately descends steeply and runs parallel to the lake, with views of the island and the sanctuary on it.

The route always continues along this path and has no secrets. The entire shore is full of visitor oriented bar and restaurant businesses as well as boat hire businesses. The first important point you will find is a rowing center, with all kinds of services, docks for boats and also a swimming area. Continue a little further and you will find another similar complex, this time it is part of a campsite and there is also a supermarket.

To the right, there are some paths that go up to viewpoints on the mountain. We came with the right time and we leave them for another occasion.

Further on, the path leaves the road and enters a forest through a stone entrance. In this area there are the best views on the island, as you can see the sanctuary ahead with the famous stairs.

You continue walking and again you have the road next to you, you pass by a tunnel, which the road does use, and you enter the town of Bled, with hotels and there is also a supermarket Past this nucleus, there are some gardens and the path goes below the mountain of the castle.

Leave aside some private recreational facilities and go up towards the church of Sant Martí, with a beautiful square. Then, you will have to follow the streets, with a good climb at the beginning, to return to the starting point (in the final part there is indeed a descent).

It is a very affordable route, which if we except the beginning and the end where there is a bit of a difference in level, the rest is not at all. It doesn't have orientation problems either, there are indicative signs and there are many people during the summer who go around the lake on foot and by bike. For this reason I rated it as easy.
