Bled, Alpine resort city in northwestern Slovenia
The city extends along the northern shore of Lake Bled, with limestone cliffs and the Julian Alps creating a mountain backdrop at 501 meters elevation.
German King Henry II granted Bled to Bishop Albuin of Brixen in 1004, initiating eight centuries of ecclesiastical administration under the Bishops of Brixen.
The Church of the Assumption on Bled Island maintains the tradition of accessing it through pletna boats, handcrafted wooden vessels operated by local families.
The city connects to two railway stations and sits 34 kilometers from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, with direct bus services running between these transport hubs.
Lake Bled contains the only natural island in Slovenia, featuring 99 stone steps leading from the dock to the church at its summit.
