Bled Castle in the past: Probably the first Romanesque tower of castle stood there since 1004, when the German Emperor Henrik II gave the Bled estate to Bishop Albuin of Brixen as a gift. Tower was protected by walls facing the slope of the castle hill. In the late middle Ages more towers were b…

Blue, Sian, Chris, Issac and I hopped on a bus and made a day trip out to Lake Bled a beautiful lake with crystal clear water and surrounded by the alps in the background. The center of the lake has a tiny island with a beautiful church and, had I not visited this place in person, I would have thou…

“Bled? That sounds a bit gruesome,” said Jodie when I first suggested the idea of visiting the small town in Slovenia, the most northerly of the former Yugoslavian republics. We were sat by the pool in Poreč, Croatia, and I’d just found out that a coach could pick us up outside the hotel and…

I think this is the route my friends and I will be taking this summer. Traveling with kcusa76(Casey), gmmccorm(Gregg), and Pelayo.

...Leaving Bosnia I passed through Republicka Serbia. Here I was severely grilled by a gnarly border guard who looked liked he'd gutted and devoured people for lesser crimes than being alone, at winter, in a very foreign land, looking too young and stupid to substantiate a claim to be an engineer, …

Bled. Wow. Thats what the travel books say and its just as picturesque as they make out. The best thing though is that it also has a massive amount of outdoor things to do there. We arrived in Bled feeling pretty average after a night out in Ljubljana. However the picturesque Bled quickly turned …

Slovenia - green piece of Europe. Just gonna use this place to share with you places I visit around Slovenia.

A beautiful lake in the Slovenian mountains, only a short trip from Ljubljana. Perfect for swimming, sunning, hiking and taking beautiful pictures. Bled itself is a touristic place ofcourse, just find your way around the lake.

After spending 4 days in Italy, I headed for Slovenia-the country full of nature and nice people.

Just spent a day and a night here. Wandered around the lake and up to the castle which has a good view from the fortress and a cafe selling cold beer! In the evening consulted my LP guidebook for a pub to visit and sure enough when I walked in there were several other tourists with their copies of …

I dont have much time to write, but I just have to say how lovely Bled is. The mountains and the lake and the views...spectacular!!We leave for Venice in the morning.casey

Just some pics of my travels...

And so it was... the end of the year that was 2007, a year that seemed to have more than its fair share of births, deaths, marriages, tragedies and comedies. Spent the last two days of it in absolute bliss in Bled, a town of 6000 local people (as well as every Italian, Austrian, Slovenian and Cro…
