If you are visiting Bled, take the time to visit the island! It is very small and will not take you much time, but it is definitely worth it. When we were there we rented a little boat and rowed there on our own, which took max. 10-15 mins. But it was a very romantic ride, and cost only 15... More

The church on the island in the middle of the lake looks like a fairy tale. Though small, the interior of the church is just beautiful. This only takes an hour (15 minutes each way to go out and 30 minutes for the island) and well worth doing. More

We enjoyed our boat trip to the island. It was a bit gondola style with a man stood at the back rowing. Ours took about 10 minutes, there are lots of different points you can pick up a boat, and if you feel energetic you can hire a rowing boat to row yourself there. We had half an hour on... More

Don't visit Lake Bled and skip the island! It is so beautiful and peaceful to visit and offers a different Bled experience. The boatride over was enjoyable even though we went there in light rain. Nice views of Bled town from there. Overall a peaceful outing and very romantic. More

It is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia. Surrounded by Slovenian mountains and very clear water. Even the trip with the boat is worth your money and your time! Don't forget to try the ˝Bled cremeschnitte = Bled cream cake˝ in one of the bars-restaurants. More

My wife rented a boat for an hour (10 euros) and I rowed out, much better than taking a boat with a bunch of strangers. And because of that, we had the place to ourselves for a while, after a group of Japanese tourists left. So I rang the bell much more than the allotted thee times!! More

The 150 steps that lead up to the church are often climbed by grooms, carrying their bride to the altar. More
