Bled, Slovenia: The Most Beautiful Little Town You've Probably Never Heard of

Bled is an absolute hidden treasure.  A small town nestled at the foot of the Julian Alps, it has all the makings of a storybook setting: a blue lake, an island with an old church, and a castle perched on a cliff.

It's so pretty it doesn't seem real.

Our favorite experiences in Bled:

- Renting a boat and rowing out to the tiny island in the middle of the lake.  There, AD (kindly) carried Molly up the 99 cobblestone steps of the old church.  Per local custom this brings couples good luck.

- Making the 6.5 mile hike around the lake and to the top of the Osojnica viewpoint where we were rewarded with the most spectacular views.


Next stop: Ljubljana, Slovenia
