Crystal clear fresh water lake

---

From Ljubljana, I took a public bus to Bled, a resort town and home of the Lake Bled for a day excursion. Bought a one-way ticket to Lake Bled first and would figure out where to go next once I got there. The drive to the lake was interesting passing by rural villages and countryside with mountains in the backdrop. Lake Bled is surrounded by the Julian Alps and Triglav Peak and natural forrests. It is very scenic. Its natural beauty is exceptional by any standard.

Had pizza and beer for lunch in a restaurant. It was delicious and the portion was huge. Took a leisure walk around the lake. Took it easy. Sat by the bench to stare at the glacial crystal clear lake as it mesmerized my mind ..and my soul.

Also took a hike to the Bled castle which is perched out from a steep hill. The castle was mentioned in litterature 1000 years ago. Now the castle is an exhibition with medieval artifact and different stages of historical development of the country.

From Lake Bled, then it is a short bus drive to Lake Bohinj. Had a coconut shake in the coffee shop by the lake. Back to Ljubljana in the evening just in time for dinner.
