Lake Bled in north-western Slovenia could easily be described as being “Picture Postcard Perfect” with its warm blue waters reflecting the craggy Julian Alps and its tiny island on which stands a church that could have featured in any fairytale. It is by no means a large lake measuring a mere 2,120 m by 1,380 m and a leisurely stroll completely around the lake can be completed in about 90 minutes. It has long been a favourite Slovenian tourist attraction but has remained completely unspoilt.
The Origins of Lake Bled
This mountainous area is part of a limestone “karst” formation and, as such, features extensive fissures, deep valleys and steep rock faces. Caves and underground aquifers are also typically observed. The site of Lake Bled, however, was once the location of the Bohinj Glacier during the ice-age. When the ice melted the lake was formed. The lake is unusual in that it is not fed by any river or stream but rather by water emerging from springs. Some of these springs in the north-eastern part of the lake are geo-thermally heated resulting in the water in the lake being pleasantly warm and suitable for swimming.
