We have driven south to Slovenia and the paradise of Lake Bled.The color of the lake does not look real. This was a steep hike up to the view point but worth the effort.All that effort calls for trying some of the local delicacies! The Bled cream cake is as good as it looks.We enjoy our balcony with a great view of the mountains. We are a 10 minute walk to the lake at Guest House Vera – a nice family home that has two apartments to rent.An early morning stroll around the lake.We enjoyed the reflections and the sunshine.The castle dates from 1100’s. I can’t imagine building it on this rock but it is very defensible.The scenery changes as you go around the lake but always spectacular.At the beach area, we stopped to try another Bled cream cake with cappuccino’s. A wonderful combination.We did some near by hikes including this one to Pokljuška soteska Gorgeand we did…A very unique hiking experience.We really enjoyed our balcony! We were able to use it every day as the weather was perfect.There is some beautiful mansions and stately architecture to enjoy on our walks around the lake. Here is a link to Bled tourism page.
