Lake Bled is a lake in the Julian Alps of northwestern Slovenia. The area is a famous green tourist destination. The lake is of mixed glacial and tectonic origin. For centuries, Europeans have flocked to the shores of Lake Bled for recreation, but also the medicinal purposes. Emperor Henry II, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, enjoyed the lake so much that he built Bled Castle in 1004. Today Medieval Bled Castle stands above the lake on the north shore and has a historic museum. The lake surrounds Bled Island. The island has several buildings, the main one being the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, built in its current form near the end of the 17th century.
The church has a 52 m (171 ft) tower and there is a Baroque stairway dating from 1655 with 99 stone steps leading up to the building. The church traditionally is visited by newlyweds for good luck.
Petrol boats are prohibited in this place. The traditional transportation to Bled Island is a wooden boat known as a pletna. The word pletna is a borrowing from Bavarian German Plätten 'flat-bottomed boat'. Similar in shape to Italian gondolas, a pletna seats 20 passengers. Modern boats are still made by hand and are recognizable by their colorful awnings.
Сovered with a matte protective varnish.
Picture unframed, ready to hang up. Decorative frame on photo only for illustration purposes.
