To discover around Lake Bled
A day can be enough to visit Bled, its lake and its surroundings. On the other hand, it is appreciable to stay a few days to take advantage of this very pleasant place. This magnificent setting allows you to recharge your batteries, discover beautiful landscapes and culture, but also to do many activities! Here is the list of activities that we recommend for an optimal experience in Bled.

Sailing on the lake is undeniably the essential activity of Bled! Rent a small boat and let yourself be carried away to the small island that you will discover more closely with curiosity. You will be able to enjoy all the magic of this magnificent lake by being directly in the center of the decor.
Swim
If you’re a little hot during your journey or the water just makes you want to dive in… Don’t resist! Grajsko kopališče is the castle beach and the only one where swimming is officially allowed. But the place hides secret places where you can swim in peace.
