Bled

Bled

Lake Bled, with its small island and the castle towering high above the water, is one of the most famous postcard motifs in Slovenia – and a dreamy stop on the cabrio tour through Slovenia. Nestled in the Julian Alps and surrounded by dense forests, Bled offers a scenery perfect for a leisurely ride with the top down.

A Cabrio route with panoramic views

The drive to Bled is already an experience in itself. Those coming from Ljubljana on the cabrio route or via the Alpine road from the north will enjoy a varied drive through narrow valleys, past clear rivers and green slopes. Just before reaching the town, the view opens up to the lake – turquoise, calm, and framed by majestic peaks.

This cabrio route not only offers driving fun but also numerous opportunities to pause: cruising along the shore, taking a walk around the lake, or crossing to the island in a traditional Pletna boat – Bled invites you to slow down.

Bled – Slovenia's natural jewel with alpine flair

What makes Bled special is the combination of alpine nature and romantic atmosphere. Bled Castle sits atop a steep cliff above the lake, providing a panorama that should not be missed on a cabrio trip. The region around the lake is ideal for taking a break between two stages and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

A culinary stop is also worthwhile – especially for the famous Bled cream cake, which tastes best on a lakeside terrace with a view of the water.
