SLOVENIA ~ Lake Bled - Julian Alps ~

... Beautiful tranquil lake views in amazing surroundings... with a church on an islet, a medieval castle clinging to a rocky cliff and some of the highest peaks of the Julian Alps... makes this charming and picturesque town of Bled Slovenia's most popular resort... no motorized boats are allowed on the Lake... the place for fun water activities like boating, swimming or just sitting on the banks... an easy walk around the lake takes about an hour and a half with many spots to stop for the perfect picture... Thanks a lot David!!【ツ】

Lake Bled  is a lake in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia, where it adjoins the town of Bled.

The Julian Alps are a mountain range that stretch from northeastern Italy to Slovenia, where they rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia and of the former Yugoslavia, divided into the Eastern and Western Julian Alps.

They are named after Julius Caesar, who founded the municipium of Cividale del Friuli at the foot of the mountains. The Julian Alps cover an estimated 4,400 km2 (of which 1,542 km2 lies in Italy).
