Discover Bled by Hire Car

Bled is a town in northern Slovenia, near the border with Austria.

Its location in the Slovenian Alps and on the shores of the lake of the same name, have made Bled and the entire region a popular holiday destination.

So, especially in summer, the surrounding ridges of the Alps, most notably the Julian Alps, are a very popular hiking area.

Sights in Bled

The townscape today is dominated with houses of Alpine architecture.

However, some of the intervening 19th-century mansions are also beautiful eye-catchers.

Of particular interest is the Church of St Mary with the Wishing Bell, situated on an island in Lake Bled, and the Vintgar Gorge, a few kilometres outside the town.

Bled and its surroundings, as well as the nearby cities of Ljubljana and Maribor, can be nicely explored with a hire car, which can be rented locally.

Leisure activities in Bled

Since Bled is surrounded by mountains as if in a cauldron, cold winds are largely kept out. As a result, water sports and swimming in the lake is partly possible until October.

Other sportsmen also get their money’s worth in the summer in the surroundings of Bled. Especially mountaineers and mountain bikers use this place as a starting point for tours.

In winter, Bled is really populated by skiers, who indulge in winter sports on the nearby slopes and cross-country trails.

Furthermore, Bled is also known as a spa and bathing resort far beyond the borders of Slovenia. Since the end of the 19th century, it has been visited mainly by people with circulatory disorders, rheumatism, migraines and other ailments.
