Bled Castle
FEATURE: Lake Bled
Another spectacular sight is that of Bled Castle, which sits on a cliff towering over the lake. In addition to important state and diplomatic meetings, this 12th century castle has hosted several weddings. It houses a museum collection that includes a manual printing press, a cellar where visitors can bottle wine, and a restaurant. During the summer months Bled Castle hosts a series of popular archery tournaments. The culinary delights of Lake Bled are almost as legendary as its scenery and architecture. The most famous delicacy is the kremĹĄnita, or Bled Cream Cake, which is made using an original 60-year-old recipe. An estimated 12 million pieces of this famed cake have been sold in Lake Bled so far. From historic castles to modern desserts, Lake Bled has something to offer anyone who visits. 13
