Lake Bled will never leave you untouched. It offers a wealth of sport activities as well as opportunities for laid-back relaxation and romantic moments. The island in the middle of the lake is the most recognisable symbol of Bled and, as the country's only island, Slovenia.

Stretching about 8km at the foot of Triglav, the Triglav Lakes Valley (Dolina Sedmerih jezer) was considered one of the most beautiful parts of the Julian Alps at the beginning of mountaineering in this area. The lakelets and pools of the karstified valley are a photographer’s paradise.

The dark green surface of the mysterious lake is a popular destination for tourist boats and fishermen in the summer, and ice skaters in the winter. The park by the lake is a popular wedding ceremony venue. Near the lake one can find the Sekvoja Energy Park and the BioSinhron Centre of Well-Being.

The damming of the Sava River that led to the flooding of gravel beds and riverbanks has created a lake that acts as the breeding grounds and transitory (occasional roost) for about 140 bird species. The rocky slopes of the Zarica Gorge at the river mouth is home to numerous montane plant species, including the lowest-lying growth site of the threatened Edelweiss.
