Original Bled cream cake

The original Bled cream cake is the most recognisable feature of Bled. Even though it is over 60 years of age, it still boasts a tempting youthful taste, forever fresh and crisp. Since 1953, the confectionery of the Hotel Park has been diligently recording the layers of buttery puff pastry used to make these mouth-watering cream cakes. More than 13 million original Bled cream cakes were made in over 60 years. For these, they used about 380,000 litres of cream, more than 863,000 litres of milk, over 6,759,130 eggs, more than 112 tonnes of flour, over 300 tonnes of sugar and more than 78 tonnes of vanilla sugar. The authentic original Bled cream cake made according to the original recipe is only served at the Park Café and in the hotels and restaurants of the Sava Hotels Bled.

Childhood memories of Bled

All of us who were lucky enough to have visited Bled as children share some images that have become an indelible part of our memory: the first steps when exploring the lake shore, the first ride in a pletnja boat, the first feeding of the swans, the first cream cake, the first blissful smile with powdered sugar around the lips ... and mother's eyes full of emotion. Wonderful memories that every parent wishes for his or her child. Bled is an ideal destination for a one-day family trip or a longer vacation with babies, toddlers, school-aged children and teenagers. The climate is mild, it is never too hot and a shade and a cool place are always close by, and there is enough fun for all family members, whatever their taste. Bring your family to Bled for a day!

Legends of Bled

Bled has always been a fairy-tale place, as a wealth of ancient legends testifies. The best known is without doubt the legend of the sunken bell and the origin of the wishing bell. Also interesting is the legend of fairies visiting Lake Bled. The beauties of Bled are described in the poem The Baptism on the Savica written by the greatest Slovenian poet France Prešeren, saying that there is no place more beautiful in Slovenia than Bled, a “paradise serene”. The tourism boom at Bled was significantly boosted by the healer Arnold Rikli. The powerful tradition at Bled is also testified to by the pletnja boat rowers and the fiacre coaches.
