Romantic Bled

If you like the sight of Bled's lake and castle among the green hills and mountains in the summer sun, then go and see Bled in the winter when a blanket of snow hugs the treasures that make up Bled's amazing scenery. The picture perfect views created by the winter conditions become truly magical when on a romantic horse-drawn carriage or a balloon ride over the magical Alpine world of snow and ice.

Bled is a wonderful place to celebrate advent and Christmas or ring in the New Year. There are numerous events, concerts and parties as well as fireworks on New Year's Eve. In winter Bled doesn't hibernate, there are workshops, fairs, ice disco's and concerts all year round.
