Bled and Bohinj Lake Bike Tour from Ljubljana

Summary

Lake Bohinj, the largest permanent one in the valley of Julian Alps, will greet us in all its glory and take us for a ride on the banks of its clear waters. A ride around this glacial lake and by the famous Bohinj railway station will impress us with a magical combination of natural imagery and history, strongly encrypted in these places and its people. You will ride around until reaching Slovenia’s most famous site - Lake Bled. A breathtaking view of the lake’s indescribable colors and reflections of light streaks, a small island in the middle of it and a castle that fills one with utmost respect will be an ideal way to wrap up a magnificent trip to the lakes. But, chances are you won’t be just ready to leave, as you will soon spot a sign for a local culinary specialty - the creme cake of Bled. This tender mixture of sweet cream, vanilla, eggs and a drop (or two… or three ...) of rum, spread between thin layers of the delicate puff pastry and sprinkled with just the right amount of ground sugar is the local people’s culinary pride. And once you taste it, you will know why. Lake Bohinj – the biggest permanent glacial lake in Slovenia Bohinj railway - a part of the railway between Prague and Trieste, that served as a crucial strategic point during the WWII Vila Bled –  a luxury hotel with a rich history; once a summer residence of Tito and his guests, today one of the top restaurants by the lake Bled Castle – a mighty castle with Romanesque walls and a specific double structure was once headquarters to lords and bishops, and today it is one of the main attractions for its magnificent gothic tower and a spectacular view of the landscape Bled Island – if in the past you didn’t believe Slovenia really has it all, you might as well start believing now. In the middle of Lake Bled, there is an island, a remainder of a glacier, today covered with trees. In the center, there is a medieval sanctuary, full of myths and legends, all of which you can reach in one of the romantic boats that are up for rent at the shore.
