Land of churches, castles and a magnetic lake
The Slovenian village of Bled is located in the Julian Alps, very close to the Austrian border and right next to the Triglav National Park, the most important protected area in Slovenia. Although its landscape and hiking options are really beautiful, Bled’s main attraction is the glacial lake at the foot of the Julian Alps. Its crystal clear waters are surrounded by forests that lead to ancient castles and churches. Get lost on these trails, Bled is a magically perfect place to do so.

FAQs: Hiking in Slovenia
Why should I choose Bled for my Hiking adventure?
The island
In the heart of Lake Bled there is a small island with a church. You can get there by boat. It is located more than half a kilometer from the shore. You can visit the area with a motor boat or, if you like water sports, rent a rowing boat.
Get started in other sports
Bled is the perfect place to do a mountaineering route along the beautiful mountains of the Julian Alps. It also offers the possibility of trying other sports such as cycling, canyoning or rafting.
Its surroundings
The surroundings of Bled are also impressive. Do not miss the hermitage of Santa Catalina or the Vintgar Gorge, a gigantic ravine that stretches 1,5 km along the Radovna River. You can walk through its large wooden walkways that lead to rapids and waterfalls.
When is the best time to travel to Bled for Hiking?

Dean was prompt and super knowledgeable about the area we were going to. He guided us safely to Slemenova Spica to enjoy the Julian Alps. As two girls from the city, we don't have much hiking experience, and he was patient and super helpful. We enjoyed our trip so much and it has been the highlight of our Slovenia trip. Thanks once again, Dean, for taking us on this experience!

That was not the guide, to begin with. It was a very very young woman. She was not very communicative, although she replied all the questions asked by the people seating in the front row. I, at the rear, have little opportunity to actually ear anything that it was said. Even less to ask myself The tour was not so bad but obviously some stops were far more interesting than others. What I found really annoying was the company of two people (clearly not customers) who shared the tour with us, speaking one another in their language as if they were alone in the van. Customers and friends (colleagues?) should be kept apart.

Dean is an excellent guide. He's friendly and conscientious and throughout or trip was focused on getting us to achieve our hiking goals while being aware of our abilities and experience. We chose a relatively tough hike (8hrs, 1,700m elevation gain) but Dean made sure we completed it safely and at a good pace. He also took photos throughout so we could concentrate on the hiking and shared them with us later. He was also good company on the hike. I would thoroughly recommend his services.
