Not very big, but extremely peaceful and nice little island. Well worth taking a paddleboat, rowboat or a pletna there(the pletna rowers are very friendly and funny). Not really more you can say: as others noted there's a small church, a souvenirshop and a cafe. The trip there and back (including visiting and shopping) will take you about 1,5 -... More

It is the only Slovenian island, so if you're in Bled, it would be a shame not visiting it. The Island itself is small: a church, a shop, a café, some paths. There's a wishing bell in the church, but they charge for entrance. It is a popular photo location for couples who marry in Bled (the groom should carry... More

Rent a swan boat on the north shore, laugh your way all the way to the island, buy a Cockta, best boat trip anywhere.

We just visited Bled island on a sunny day between snowy days. The scenery was breathtaking.Th stairs were a bit slippery because of ice and some steps were slippery especially coming down. definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful little island with a gorgeous church. We travelled on a small boat and climbed the steps to the church where we rang the wishing bell. We also visited the tiny museum and gift shop. A delightful hour spent on an idyllic island.

We hired a rowing boat at Mlino village (Penzion Pletna at south-west bank of lake). If you are decently fit and know how to row, it should not take more then 15 minutes to come to the island from this spot. You have plenty of time on the island for the views, visit of the church (small entrance fee) and... More

We hired a rowing boat near the island, which was very pleasant, but you can also get a motor boat from Bled. It's a beautiful spot obviously, and has a very good coffee shop.

The best bit was actually the row out there! Ask at your hotel and you should be able to get a discount voucher. The church was nice and ringing the bell was a novelty, plus great coffee at a decent price on the island.

No visit to Bled is complete without a trip to the Island. It is mindblowing. Take a Pletna boat trip, walk up the steps. The vista covers Triglav and the Julian Alps. Highlight is ringing the bell to make a wish,every time the bells are rung they can be heard for miles.
