The Lake of Bled is Slovenijan most popular turistic place. Is a glacial lake in the north west part of the country and placed on the sunny side of the Julan alps .. half of hour by car distant from Italy or Austria. There are a lot of things that marks Bled .. the most obvious is the Island with an old church from the 8th century a.c. the3 finaly look the church got in the 1698. But however there are signs of spiritual and religion activity on it far away in time to the era of stone ege. / The second atraction on the lake of Bled is the castle on the high rocks (you can see it in the pic right above the church) from where there is a wanderful view and many more .. it has around 1000 years. For sure is a location to visit if you are somewhere in the middle of Europe and you are looking for a place full of natural and cultural beauty.
This shot was taken at Lake Bled, Slovenia. This was taken in Spring despite the autumnal colours. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.
This is the natural island in the middle of Lake Bled in Slovenia. The island has several buildings, the main one being the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary, built in the 15th century, where weddings are held regularly. The church has a 52-metre tower and there is a stairway with 99 steps leading up to the building. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.
Probably the most photographed part of Slovenia. Lake Bled with its island and church are famous for their fairy-tale beauty. The present Church of the Assumption was built in the 17th century and the vicarage a hundred years later. But there are vestiges that date much earlier. That day we wanted to walk round this natural lake, a leisurely walk of some 6 hours. It was beautiful scenes all the way. I must have taken more than 200 photos on that hike alone. / . / Nikon D70 / Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G / Aperture: f/11.0 / Shutter: 1/125 sec / Focal Length: 28mm / ISO: 200 / . /
Photograph taken on a cold sunny morning of January on the lake of Bled Slovenija. One or maybe just the most rapresentable place of my country. It is a glacial lake with an alp island dominated by a little church on it. A place like from a fairly tale.. a place full of history from the far iron era to these days. The island was always a place for spirituality. The lake is dominated by a wanderful castle on the highest rock above the lake. (You can see it on the pic) . I can only say that if you are searching for a breathtaking location on the sunny side of alps which have all.. well the lake of Bled is for sure a splendid choice. And if you love the nature.. only 20 minutes with car or a hour with a bike :) away there is another lake for the lovers of nature and the biggest natural reserve in Slovenija. © COPYRIGHT NOTICE / The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted ©2008 Robert Pavsic.

Lake Bled, Slovenia
Images from beautiful Slovenia.
Bled castle high on the point , and, on a island. a lovely church with a wishing bell to pull and a lake so still it was breathtaking. Our tourist chatter just died away as we were taken across the lake. I was inspired to forget any embarrassment and completed a TaiChiChiKung set by the lakeside. Lake Bled was the “pick” of my European Tour and I thank our guide who ‘insisted’ that we go on the optional tour. A very special place. / Pentax Optio 750Z 1/100 F7.8 ISO80 /

Lake Bled, Slovenia, October 2007
On a friend’s recommendation, we trekked from Ljubljana to Lake Bled, one of Slovenia’s best attractions. My friend was on the money, in the middle of summer it was a beautiful place. Mountains, gardens, castles, churches, alpine houses, swans, ducks, gondala rides, crystal clear water for swimming, huge fish swimming around your legs, picnics, bike riding, hiking, gorgeous cafes and restaurants, is there anything we couldn’t do! It was the most enjoyable day, and I have since become the friend who recommends visiting Lake Bled.
