Bled island

Reach Bled island the way it’s been done for centuries – by riding the traditional “pletna” (wooden gondola). Once you arrive, climb the 99 steps to the church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, ring the ‘wishing bell’ in the 15th-century church belfry, and make a wish. Visit Bled Island ‘Potičnica’ and taste the traditional Slovenian cake – potica with honey.
