For centuries, it has been a world-renowned paradise, captivating visitors with its natural beauty, rich legends, and unique restorative powers. Fed by the snowmelt from the "Three-Headed Mountain," Lake Bled is also known as the "Ice Lake." Take a traditional wooden boat, called a "pletna," to Bled Island and visit the Church of the Assumption of Mary. Legend has it that wishes made at this church always come true. For the best views of the lake, island, and surrounding peaks, head to Bled Castle, perched high on a cliff overlooking the water. Considered one of Europe's most beautiful wedding venues, Lake Bled also hosts important diplomatic and state protocol meetings. In the early 20th century, Lake Bled was renowned as the most beautiful health resort in Austria-Hungary. In addition to its exceptional environment, the northeastern part of the lake boasts thermal springs, which now supply water to the pools of Bled's major hotels. What could be more relaxing than a dip in the thermal waters?
