About Bled

Bled [1] is a town in Slovenia, on the east side of Lake Bled. If you don't already know that Lake Bled is the most popular tourist attraction in Slovenia you'll know it the moment you arrive. There's a casino. There's a Shamrock Irish Pub. There's even one of those tourist buses made up to look like a choo-choo train. It's horrible. But look out across the emerald-green water sparkling in the sunshine and all that disappears. Instead, you see a storybook landscape - a lush little island with a church spire peeking out over the greenery, snow-covered Alps beyond and, on one shore, a steep cliff atop which looms a formidable castle. It's like something from Wagner. Once you make it past the photographer, you can visit an old-style print shop, where you can buy handmade prints; or you can visit the wine cellar, where you can buy wine; or you can visit the smithy with its fake forge and array of metalwork for sale. The only redeeming spots are the fine little castle church with its 16th-century frescoes and the views over Lake Bled. The church has some lovely 14th-century frescoes but that's not why people come here. They come here to ring the bell. There's some local legend about how it gives you luck for some reason or other. I didn't bother to write it down since it was probably made up for tourists anyway. Still, I wasn't about to pass up the chance for some good luck and I got in line with the rest. A sign on the floor gave strict instructions not to swing from the bell rope.
