Bled is the image most people have of Slovenia: a glacial lake with an island church, a cliff-top castle and the Karavanke range behind it. A flat six-kilometre path circles the water, and traditional pletna boats row out to the island. It is the country's busiest destination, so early mornings and shoulder season make a large difference to the experience.
