Ride a traditional wooden boat called a "pletna" or rent your own boat and row to Bled Island rising above the surface of a glacial lake. This Ice Age limestone glacial deposit covered with trees is thought to have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological excavations have uncovered traces of Slavic settlements from the 9th and 10th centuries. Legend has it that the present stone Baroque church was built on the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to the Slavic goddess of fertility. Climb the monumental 99 steps leading up to the church and ring the "wishing bell" above the church nave.

It is absolutely sensational. The view, the ambiance and the sight is totally breathtaking. You can spend one hour without even noticing. Make sure you see the church as well. Enjoy the eternity.

You can be rowed to the island, take a "normal" boat, or hire a boat and row yourself. I just admired the island from afar while I walked round the whole lake. Gorgeous views.

This looks interesting but I could not get a boat out to it on the day i visited which was a shame. Can be seen from lakeside and from the castle.

It is totally an amazing experience. Take the boat to the island. Visit the church, museum and enjoy the sight. For me it was breathtaking.

Such an amazing view. When visiting ljubljana, you better passby lake bled for this amazing view. Very picturesque and instagram worthy. They have boats (manually maneuvered) which are quite expensive (15eur) if you wanna have a quick visit to the lake bled island which hosts a church. The island alone is very small and you can literally finish it within less than 10min. But the important feature you are paying, is the view. Especially if you are into taking shots. If not, then basically nothing to see on the island and just take some good shots around the lake.

Worth the row! We rowed across to the island and spend some time exploring, as well as getting an ice cream. We decided not to visit the church due to the cost and previous reviews, but visiting the island was a good experience itself.

Bled Island floating above the waters of Lake Bled for thousands of years It is the only natural island in Slovenia and is located in the Alps in Central Europe 🇪🇺 The island contains a number of buildings that do not exceed the fingers of a hand. The main building is the pilgrimage church which was built in its present form in the late 17th century. The church is famous for the weddings that are held regularly in the Alps and the green forests around. Really amazing place 🏞♥️
