Slovenia’s Lake Bled is truly stunning. Set in a pine forest with a mountain scenery backdrop, Lake Bled is can't-believe-your-eyes-pretty, and it rightfully deserves its name as ‘’the Pearl of Alps’’. With a snow-capped mountains and glass-like waters, Lake Bled is home to Slovenia's only island. Sending an Austrian Alps vibe, once you come here you will feel like you have stepped into a scene from the Sound of Music. Think enchanted forests, toy townhouses and a fairy-tale church. To get the best view, you will visit Bled castle - you can see right across the lake from here. However, spare some attention for the chateau itself. With its cone-shaped turrets, yard-thick walls and lofty parapets it is something special. Hop on a rowing boat to glide over to the tiny island church. Legend has it if you make a wish as you ring the church bell, your wish just might come true.
