SLOVENIA, Lake Bled – The sound of church bells ringing draws your gaze over the water to Bled Island, sitting quietly in the middle of Lake Bled.

The Church of the Mother of God has since become the poster photo for Lake Bled and its surrounding region. To visit the centerpiece of Lake Bled, the best experience would definitely be renting a rowboat and paddling your way across the lake. It is a short 15 min paddle with stunning views all around you, making you wish you could stay there forever.

The church still contains fragments detailing the life of the Virgin Mary and Bled Island has many hidden secrets that cannot be viewed from the shores, necessitating a trip to the little island whenever you’re at Lake Bled.
