Bled and Bohinj between Nature and Tradition
Explore two alpine jewels of Slovenia: the romantic Lake Bled with its island and castle, and the serene Bohinj, surrounded by mountains and legends. A day full of unforgettable landscapes, history and local flavors.
Join me to discover two alpine treasures of Slovenia: Bled and Bohinj. We start at the iconic Lake Bled, where we will sail on a traditional *pletna* boat to the enchanting island. There we will visit the baroque church and, if you are up for it, you can ring the famous wishing bell. We will taste the delicious *potica*, a typical Slovenian cake, while contemplating the medieval castle of Bled, suspended on a cliff. I will tell you the legend of the sunken bell and the story of the Brixen bishops, as well as the visionary ideas of Dr. Rikli, a pioneer of health tourism. Then we will head to the wilder and more serene Bohinj Lake, surrounded by the majestic Julian Alps. We will visit the Church of St. John the Baptist, a jewel of rural Gothic, and enjoy the local cuisine in a traditional *gostilna*. This tour combines nature, history, culture and authentic flavors in one unforgettable day - ideal for those looking for beauty and connection with the locals!
