Daytrips in Bled and the surrounding area

The lake with the island

The image of the lake with the island is one of the most typical of Slovenia. The island was once a temple to Živa, the goddess of love. Today, it is the home of the romantic small church of St. Mary Help of Christians with a famous wishing bell dating back to 1943. The island is accessible by traditional “pletnja” boats and rowing boats.
A ride in a “pletnja” boat

There is a rule in Bled: if you have not taken a ride in a “pletnja” boat, you have not visited Bled for real. The “pletnja” is a traditional wooden boat built by locals. It is unique to Bled. Take a seat for a ride to the island and sightseeing from the lake surface.
Romantic picnic on Lake Bled

Take a row boat out on Lake Bled and enjoy a private picnic in the middle of this beautiful lake in the heart of a pristine natural environment. You can also row to the nearby island and enjoy some breath-taking views. Row boats can be rented in the boat house of the Grand Hotel Toplice. If you decide on the romantic package, the boat rental comes with a picnic basket full of delicious foods.
Bled Castle

A steep cliff overhanging Lake Bled is the home of the oldest castle in Slovenia, offering a spectacular view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Throughout the year, the castle courtyard hosts numerous events and visitors can take a tour of the castle printing works and the herbal gallery.
Ojstrica

Ojstrica is known especially for its magnificent view of Lake Bled and the Sava plain. The most beautiful panoramic photos of Bled are taken here.
Biking trip: Radovna vally

This easy cycling route runs through the idyllic Alpine valley of the Radovna River, from the Krnica village to the museum in the Pocar homestead, one of the oldest preserved in the Triglav National Park. We suggest that you stop on the way to see the 500-year-old Gogal linden tree and Napoleon’s stone from the time of the Illyrian provinces, visit the karst source at Lipnik, and jump into the Kreda lake.
Triglav National Park

Named after the highest peak in Slovenia, Triglav, the Triglav National Park stretches across almost the entire Julian Alps. It is an indisputable treasure trove of natural sights: a diverse pristine landscape with mountain peaks, gorges, mountain villages, water sources and rich vegetation.

The Straža hill

Straža Hill on the south-east side of the lake is an exceptional vantage point. The Bled fitness trail runs through meadows and the forest (outdoor gym). A lift can take you to the top of Straža Hill, allowing skiers and snowboarders to enjoy the rides down the small but well-tended ski slope.
Fiacre coaches

A fiacre, the traditional Bled horse-drawn carriage, is another custom that has been conveyed from one generation to the next. The carriage drivers are distinguished by traditional livery. They will take you for a ride around the lake or sightseeing in the surrounding area.
The Bled Vintgar gorge

The Vintgar gorge is one of the most famous natural sights near Bled. A 1.6 km footpath leads along the green Radovna River, past its pools, waterfalls and rapids all the way to a 15 m high waterfall. The walk is particularly enjoyable in the hot summer months. Photo: Bled LTO

"Rikli’s Guided Exercise"

Guided Rikli Sports Programme

Swiss healer Arnold Rikli was the first to recognise the healing benefits of Bled, building the first natural healing resort here in mid-19th century. The Rikli Balance Hotel is carrying on his tradition in the desire to offer our guests the perfect environment for relaxing and beating stress.

Find out more about Rikli's Way at the Rikli Balance Hotel

Every Saturday between 19 March 2022 and 30 April 2022, we have organised free morning and afternoon guided exercises for guests of the Rikli Balance Hotel, prepared according to the Rikli concept. The exercises will take place in Rikli’s relaxation park. In case of bad weather, the exercise will take place in the yoga room at the Živa Wellness centre instead. We took inspiration from Rikli’s wisdom, crafted a carefully prepared programme, and adapted it to fit the stressful modern lifestyle, in order to comprehensively connect ourselves with our body and nature. We are certain that after exercising you will feel a greater connection with your body, you will feel rejuvenated, and at the same time calm, relaxed and at ease. The purpose of these exercises is for you to take these carefully selected tips home with you and incorporate them into your daily rituals.

Morning Exercise Between 8 and 9 am - Awakening of the Body Rikli’s Way

We start the morning movement exercise with a short meditation, where we focus our consciousness to all our senses (touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste) and all the elements around us (earth, air, water and fire - symbolically represented by a stone). We continue barefoot with gentle movement work, which in combination with breathing and exercises will encourage gentle detoxification of the body and improve your circulation from head to toe.
Individual Guided Exercises for Individuals, Couples or Families

After a whole day of activities, it is necessary to calm the nervous system and stimulate the processes of recovery to prepare the body for quality sleep. Pick a tree that will be your best friend for 60 minutes during the grounding process of the afternoon exercise. Carefully chosen exercises will draw attention back to your body, awaken a sense of gratitude and love for yourself, reconnect your feminine and masculine principles, your yin and yang, your right and left halves, your exterior and interior. The proximity and touch of the tree will calm and ground you, and a short relaxation at the end of the exercise will prepare you for a restorative sleep.
Individual Guided Exercises for Individuals, Couples or Families

Our trainer, Barbara, has prepared special programmes for individuals, couples or families who would like additional exercises, which can be booked at a surcharge. Every hour of movement in the fresh air under her watchful eye ends with a relaxing treatment, and for anyone under higher levels of stress, we suggest you try her unique relaxing treatment with tuning forks. Sound therapy will help to deeply relax and balance your body, mind and soul.
