Duration: 10 h
Our first stop will be at the Bled where you fill,  that nowhere in the world is there a more lovely place, than this paradise and its surroundings. In this way the poet defines the glacial lake Bled, situated among mountains. The shore has been turned into a magnificient park with many villas and hotels. Today Bled is a modern and very popular holiday resort. From the medieval Castle of Bled on a 100m hill overlooking the lake you will have spectacular view over the area. On the island you will have a chance to make a wish in the St. Mary's Church by pulling a bell and taste local creamslice 'kremšnita' as well.Next we will visit to the Lake Bohinj which is the jewel at the centre of scattering of villages in eastern Gorenjska  and it absolutely breathtaking. The pure quiet of this location really brings nature to life once more. Only birdsong emanates from the surrounding Eden, the splash of one of Bohinj’s ‘yellow-bellied’ fish, or the crash of Savica waterfall. Perhaps the only other detectable sound is the flap of the wings of large birds in flight over this crystal clear lake. By Bohinj you can be at one with yourself, and peace is unavoidable. There we will visit to St. John the Baptist's Church which is over 700 years old church is one of the most beautiful examples of the Middle Age architecture and fresco painting in Slovenia. There are various styles in the church, from romance to baroque. Very interesting is the wooden head of Janez Krstnik from 1380, which is kept by the Institute for the Protection of Natural and Cultural Heritage. The frescos of the church are also famous, with the oldest ones dating from the 13th century. There are also some 72 different saints and other motifs painted. In three layers on the southern outer wall there are three paintings of St. Christopher who is the patron of pilgrims, travelers, drivers, carriers, rafters and boatmen. Next we will visit to the Savica Waterfall which is one of Slovenia’s greatest waterfalls.  The waterfall itself drops a towering 78m into a large water sink, which is located at an altitude of 500m. An inspirational sight, it has often been written about by well-known Slovenian poets and writers. Next we will visit to Vogel which is one of the incredible panoramic views point . After a very steep ascent up to 1534 meters above sea level on the cable car you are met with stunning views of Lake Bohinj and the surrounding mountains of the Slovenian Alps, including Mt. Triglav. There’s a nice cafe restaurant on top, where you can sit and relax looking arround. After we return to Ljubljana.
