Lake Bled, Glacial lake in Upper Carniolan region, Slovenia.
Lake Bled extends across 2,120 meters in length and 1,380 meters in width, with a maximum depth of 29.5 meters in the Julian Alps.
Archaeological discoveries near the lake shore revealed gold appliqués from the Bronze Age period, dating back to the 13th-12th century BC.
The traditional wooden boats called pletnas transport visitors to the small island, continuing a water transportation practice dating from 1150.
The complete circuit around Lake Bled measures 6 kilometers and takes approximately 90 minutes to walk while offering views of the castle.
The lake contains a small island with a 17th-century church featuring Gothic frescos from 1470 and Baroque decorations inside its walls.
