Bled in the summer

With one of the longest and warmest summer seasons of any alpine resort, Bled becomes a sunny paradise and almost
beach resort in the balmy months. If the main attraction of coming to Bled isn't to swim in fresh, crystal clear waters - then it must be to gaze upon its crown jewels: the cliff-top castle and island-bound church. Slovenia cannot boast 1244 islands like its southern neighbour (Croatia), but its single solitary water-bound terra firma is home to the picture-postcard
Church of the Assumption.

Perched quite dramatically high up on a cliff overlooking the lake and town, Bled Castle is the stuff of children's dreams. Built and added to haphazardly over the ages since conception around 1000AD, the castle is a pretty mash of styles.

A highly impressive venue with a theme of castles and dungeons. The heavy wooden fittings, indoor vine-trees, stone walls, entwining tunnels and flickering candlelight certainly provide an ambient a la carte dining experience.
