7Bled, Slovenia

Lake Bled, with its tiny island and medieval castle perched on a cliff, looks like something from a fantasy novel. Visitors can take a traditional wooden boat, called a pletna, to the island and ring the wishing bell in the church for good luck.
The town of Bled is surrounded by lush forests and mountains, providing stunning views wherever you go. For a more adventurous experience, hike up to Bled Castle for panoramic views of the lake and beyond.
