Bled castle, lake bled, Slovenia

Bled is Slovenia’s most popular tourist resort and understandably so. Picturesque and pristine, the lake was formed when the Bohinj glacier met a huge body of rock, what is now known as Bled Island and the only island in Slovenia. Having carved the island, the glacier melted into the lake that we see today. The most recognisable symbol of Bled is the Church of the Mother of God on the lake’s island, originally built in 1465.
