Description

Added by Kyle Frost

Mala Osojnica Viewpoint is accessed from the far end of the lake. This short hike provides one of the best views of Lake Bled. You climb quickly from the path surrounding the lake, switchbacking through the forest past a few intermediary views. There is a steep set of stairs, but otherwise it's a short and straightforward (if tiring) hike. The view from the top is a sweeping panorama of Lake Bled, the island, the castle, and the surrounding area.

Lake Bled Loop

Bled, Slovenia is an incredibly picturesque town situated at the foot of the Karawanks Mountains near the boarder of Austria. The small lake town is often regarded as one of the best kept secrets because of the intimate and secluded location. The town center sits right on the waters edge with views of snow capped mountains, the local castle, and of course Bled Island in the middle of the lake. ...

Lake Bled Bench (Ojstrica)

For this hike, you'll want to park in the parking area at the little beach called Velika Zaka. Then, with your back to the lake, cross the road to the wooded area and walk to the left a little ways until you see an entrance into the woods (I took a picture of what it looks like and included it in this post). You'll also see a wooden stake to the left of the entrance that says 'Velika Osojnica' ...

Hike the Vintgar Gorge

This gorge is only 3.5km northwest of Lake Bled, Slovenia, making it a wonderful side trip in your Slovenian adventure. It offers lush green vegetation, clear blue water, and is easy enough for anyone to hike (even in sandals). The one meandering path from the parking lot is well maintained and follows the Radovna River as it snakes through the gorge. The Radovna carved out 160-330ft walls whic...

Hike to Viševnik

The adventure begins at a large parking area that is originally a part of a cross-country skiing center, but you can park there with no problem. First, the trail goes through a light forests, if you don't spot it at first, just try to find the signpost and it will lead you to it. You quickly arrive to a ski lift, which is, during winter as well, usually closed. Here the path truly begins. Conti...

Photograph the Church of Saints Primus and Felician

Located at my coordinate is the pull off point for you to shoot the beautiful and perfect view of the church. There is a small pull off at this location, which is hard to find in Slovenia! It's the perfect space for a couple cars. Jump out and walk over next to the guardrail and keep your eyes open for oncoming cars flying around the bends. Make sure to bring your tripod and set up for that gre...

Hike to Peričnik Waterfall

You'll enjoy seeing this waterfall in Slovenia's Triglav National Park with such a short hike and easy access. If you park you car at the hut, it costs 2 Euros. You can also drive right past the hut and park on the side of the road. Most people did this instead. The hut offers food and drinks, if you're needing some snacks for the hike. In front of the hut is a sign pointing you to the main tra...
