Relaxation

There’s no place like Lake Bled, Slovenia! From paragliding to canyoning, this place is full of opportunities for thrill seekers!

For those who are looking for a laid-back time, try fishing, hiking, and horseback riding in this picturesque setting. Located only 4km northwest of Bled, the Vintgar Gorge is also a common destination for visitors. Walk along a footpath to a cascading waterfall and continue on to the historical church of St. Catherine. Known for its spectacular views, Lake Bled won’t disappoint! No matter what time of year, Lake Bled is truly picture-perfect!

“Bigger than I was expecting and 10 times more picturesque than my travel book suggested, this lake was truly formed by some higher force. Lake was rounded with a small island at the far end and on this island was a quaint little church.
At water level it was stunning but when you ascended the hill to the castle, the views were truly inspiring and breath taking. This was the first time I saw the lake as the hostel we were staying in was on the other side a hill. After checking in Rhys (who had already been here) took me up the tree covered path to the entrance of the castle where a small fee was paid. As we walked around the castle grounds we headed towards a small cafe by the castle walls, only then was I struck by the sheer beauty and expanse of Lake Bled” (more…)

RealTraveler mroc2103 talks about traveling to the Vintgar Gorge:

“At the far end of the gorge are a couple of small waterfalls, one of which is man made. It is just after these that I turned off and started to follow the trail back to Bled. It goes up and over the hill and stops at a little wooden roofed church called St Catherines. The church was locked but very pretty with the snow covered mountains behind it. It is then an easy walk along the edge of the road (it even has a footpath in sections) back through the village of Zasip to Bled” (more…)

However you choose to entertain yourself, be sure to keep a camera handy, as Lake Louise is set amongst the famous Victoria Glacier, a favorite destination for photographers.

RealTraveler Brisbird tells us:

“The view from our room of Lake Louise was amazing. It is hard to believe the color of the lake - a light turquoise. Today it is really cold outside - and as we looked up at the mountains, it looked like it was snowing!!! Not long after, as we were walking around and taking heaps of photos, a few flecks of snow start falling on us…We head off along the old highway towards Banff at around midday. We are limited on this road due to the native wildlife in the area, with the speed limit set to 50klm/hr. This makes the 130klm drive to Banff longer than expected. We stop along the way at Johnstone Canyon to stretch our legs on the 1.5km walk to the falls here” (more…)
