Triglav National Park is one of the most im¬portant natural treasures of Slovenia. It is named after the sym¬bolic mountain Triglav (2,864 m) and is one of the oldest parks in Europe. The first protec¬tion attempts date back to the year 1906. Thepark covers nearly 84,000 hectares, almost the entire territory of the eastern Julian Alps. The Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only Slovenian national park. The management of the Triglav National Park is the responsability of the Triglav national Park Public Institution, based in Bled. The national park is a model example of successful harmonisation of different interests focused on a common goal: well-preserved nature, landscape and cultural heritage. The values of a national park are a motive and an attractive goal for visitors who respect the exceptional nature and cultural heritage as well as the peace and quiet of the area.

As a nature lover, Triglav Park was on my activities list during my trip in Slovenia. The park is in the Julian Alps, therefore offers the typical beautiful alpine landscape :) There are different paths and you can find information on the official website and at the "ticket office" at the entrance. My friend and I are quite active and we chose a medium path, which was actually very easy, on the way up, we hiked along a small stream, arriving at a waterfall. We had a packed lunch with us, and on the way back, we stopped for a drink in a typical place, which really added to the visit. The park is very well looked after. Nature and photography lovers are going to love this place :)

Climb the peak above Bled which will enthuse you with their magnificent views. Climbing the Mala Osojnica (685 metres) will take about 45 minutes along a steep forest path. The most beautiful views of Lake Bled and its surroundings, the Karavanke, Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe mountain ranges and the Ljubljana basin await you.

We emailed Danijela about arranging a private tour for three of us and she replied suggesting a choice of two timings. Closer to the date, we let her know about the time of our arrival. As we stayed at Garni Hotel Berc, we walked through the residential area and country road to reach this place in the village of Selo in about 25 mins. Before we went on the tour (6 euros each), we wore a hat with protective netting. Danijela is a warm person and she explained to us the intricacies about bee keeping. She also encouraged us to try the Bee therapy by lying on a bed. She readily answered our questions. Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under threat from human activities. Pollinators allow many plants, including many food crops, to reproduce and they are key to conserving biodiversity - a cornerstone of the Sustainable Development Goals. To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day. This date was chosen as it coincides with the birthday of Anton Janša, who in the 18th century pioneered modern beekeeping techniques in his native Slovenia and praised the bees for their ability to work so hard, while needing so little attention. We also visited the gift shop and learnt what good honey is like. We also tasted some samples. After my trip to Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, I felt that her prices are reasonable and the small bottles of honey are good gifts for families and friends back home. We walked back by another way passing a working farm where we saw brown cows and lovely houses with beautiful flowers in their gardens. Soon we arrived at Lake Bled and this walk was pleasant and scenic. Strongly recommend a walk there to visit an important industry and learnt much about the importance of bee.

5. Lake Bled
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9,454 reviews
Discover the magic of the lake that attracts travellers from near and far. The current unique shape of the year did not emerge coincidentally. A tectonic hole made by the Bohinj glacier through the years, was once at the location of the present lake. Its path was obstructed by a huge rock which was so persistently scraped that the only thing that remained was the present island. The ice melted and the basin was filled with water, thus Lake Bled emerged, which is in some places up to 30 metres deep and quite popular amongst divers. 19 species of fish live in the lake, including carp, sheatfish and lake trout. Ducks and swans as well as diverse plants also swim and thrive on its surface.

7. Straza Bled
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 565 reviews
Straza is a smaller hill most suitable for a relaxing walk and summer or winter sport activities. It is considered to be the most beautiful viewpoint in the area that offers incredible view of the city of Bled, lake Bled, castle and surrounding mountains. In summer you can enjoy in adrenaline-drenched sledding (summer tobogganing), visiting Adventure Park or taking a ride with the tube, tuba jump or free fall simulator. You can take a relaxing walk through meadows and woods on the Rikli Fitness Trail. In winter you can ski on a small, but settled ski slope that is lit for night skiing and offers organized ski school, equipment rental and Sporty's Children Snow Park. Straza ski slope is accessible by car or by foot as it is only a few minutes' walk from the center of Bled. The resort is closed in a heavy rain.

Having traveled Europe for four months, and riding many toboggans, this was our favorite. Firstly, the views are so beautiful, being able to see the castle, the church, and the lake all at once is an incredible sight from the elevation. The attraction is easily accessible on foot (if you want some exercise), or by ski lift and any local can point you in the right direction. The employees were very kind. Best of all was the beautiful and fun ride down the mountain! You can control how fast or slow you go, so dont worry about it being too scary if you dont like fast rides! All in all, a cheap, fun attraction, and a must in Lake Bled!

Stairs between rocks are perfect and view on the top of the cliff is fantastic. You can walk near the forest to the houses and there is the way to the village. Nice experience for kids, but be careful on the top, there is no fence!
