The place to go for an amazing view of Lake Bled. The hike is about 20-30min depending on how fast you go and if you stop. There are some stairs at some point that almost go vertical so be warned about that but so worth it. The view is absolutely amazing and it's a must to do when you are in Bled!

We wanted to do this walk on our holiday (husband and myself), so hubby spent ages trying to find best and cheapest place to park in Bled. We parked i the parking area opposite the spar supermarket- on Ljubljanska cesta (road on the right as you come in to Bled). It is a wee walk (about 45 to the start of the track), but the cheapest parking rate (1.5€ per hr). Easy walking into town (stopping to buy pastries for the hike). And then we turned right once we reached the lake, and walked that way around to the start of the hike). Lovely, easy walk around the lake. Once we reached the track, we opted to take the first track that we came across first, up towards Ojstrica (the track of which then continues on to Mala Osojnica). You can choose to do M. O. first, which means you have to carry on, along the road to the other start. Most of the blogs/reviews that we read, said to do MO first. HOWEVER, we are SOOOO pleased that we did the other way, as it meant you walked up the difficult gravel ‘roads’ on the way up, rather than having to come down (which we think would be difficult). Then you take a short path on the right, up the summit which you should absolutely do! Amazing views. It is a steep track, but only about 10min. We then carried on to Mala Osojnica. And as I said earlier, so pleased we took this way, as it meant we came down the steep metal stairs, rather than trying to walk up them! The actual walk (excluding the walk around the lake) took about 1hr total. After we finished the walk up, we then just carried on walking around the lake, back to our car. The whole walk took about 3 1/2 hrs. Well worth it!!

My husband and I biked around the lake, parked our bikes near the rowing club/lakeside, and hiked up the trail towards Ojstrica walking in a counter-clockwise direction. We kept going up to Mala Osojnica, and then down the stairs and back to the start. It was a steep but short hike up, and the views are wonderful! There are some benches at each viewpoint. I recommend hiking this loop so that you end up going down the stairs instead of up. I am in moderate shape and don't usually love elevation gain, but I was able to do it no problem.

While it is a bit of a steep and uneven path, the view does not disappoint and we didn’t even go all the way up. After around 15 minutes things open up for a great view of the island and church. If the lighting is right (4 pm for us) you can get an amazing photo. Enter the trail from the south west corner of the lake-you’ll see a gap in the barrier to the road. Go across the street and follow the gravel road first to the right, then left around a barrier. The trail becomes a bit uneven with rock/roots etc. 20-30 min up. Bring water!
