A trip to Lake Bled

Every spring, from Friuli, they organise outings by steam train....destination Lake Bled! The landscape that opens before your eyes is enchanted: there's the castle perched above the lake and, in the middle of the lake, surrounded by the mountains, a little green island emerging from the water. On that little island you'd expect to find some historic villa, whereas instead there's a small church with a bell tower, almost as a thank-you for the enchanting nature on offer!

My advice is that it's well worth making a small detour to Lake Bled if perhaps you're on your way to or back from Croatia, or even if you're visiting Slovenia!
