Destination Bled is among the most popular and well-attended tourist places in Slovenia. It is also famous as a rowing and boat race centre. The beginnings of Bled tourism date back to 1855, when the Swiss healer and naturopath Arnold Rikli, one of the founders of some forms of contemporary alternative medicine, revealed the beneficial effects of the mountain position of Bled, its healthy climate and a long swimming season on human health. He elaborated on a program of activities, from water treatment and baths to a healthy eating program. It was believed that his program reduced a range of health problems. The consequence was that already in 1895, the first beach and organized accommodations for the guests were built. 

Did you know that in 1903, Bled was awarded a gold medal at an international fair of healing places in Vienna? Only three years later, in 1906, Bled was classified among the best tourist destinations in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

The TOP 5 sights in Bled:

1. Lake Bled, the 'Pearl at the foot of the Julian Alps' is an ideal destination for active holidays. Surrounded by an area of green hills and mountains in the distance, it provides ample opportunities for sport and recreation (swimming, rowing, trekking, cycling, water sports, etc.), and it offers a variety of events in Bled and its surroundings. The natural glacial lake is 2,120 m (6,960 ft) long and 1,380 m (4,530 ft) wide, with a maximum depth of 29.5 m (97 ft), and it has a small island.
2. Bled Island, located in the middle of Lake Bled, with the charming little baroque Church of the Assumption and a Gothic lighthouse, is one of Bled's most visited attractions. To get there, visitors can rent a ‘pletna’ - a rowboat reminiscent of Venetian gondolas. The only Slovenian island still preserves the memory of a sad legend …
3. Bled Castle (Blejski grad) - a fortress from the 11th century, located on a steep rock, 130 meters above Lake Bled. It is the oldest Slovenian castle. Apart from the castle itself, it is also worth visiting for the beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding area.
4. The Monument to Arnold Rikli at the top of Straža hill. Listen to the story about the Swiss healer and naturopath who was the initiator of spa tourism in Bled in the 19th century and one of the pioneers of modern health tourism in Slovenia.
5. The France Prešeren Monument in Bled – the famous statue dedicated to the Slovenian greatest poet. Did you know that he is the author of the lyrics of "Zdravljice", today's national anthem of the Republic of Slovenia? In his honour, Slovenians celebrate every year February 8 (the day of Prešern's death) as a state holiday and national "Day of Culture".

This ravine is a remnant of a stream which, at the end of the last Ice Age, was deeply carved into the limestone slopes above the Radovna, creating a ravine up to 50 meters deep. Over time, the water receded, and the stream moved underground, leaving behind the largest fossil gorge in Slovenia.
