Lake Bled is one of the 25 most beautiful places in the world, according to CNN. Just being here is a dream!
Lake Bled is located in a picturesque location, surrounded by mountains and forests, making it one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe. The purest and transparent water in the lake has an unusually beautiful blue hue, which creates a wonderful contrast with green forests and high mountains.
A medieval castle rises on a hill above the lake, and in the center of the lake is a small island that barely fits a church. The combination of nature and medieval architecture gives this place a fabulous look.
We will have the opportunity to plunge into this incredible beauty!
Swimmers are waiting not only for excellent landmarks, but also for unique photographs.
The starting city is located in the center of international level rowing, which has all the necessary infrastructure.
The distances are suitable for swimmers of any level, the water promises to be warm, waves are rare here, and for beginners there is a distance of 500 meters.
There is a walking path around the entire lake, the fans will be able to be nearby throughout the entire distance.
On the island of Bled, incredible nature is perfectly combined with a developed infrastructure, there are many cozy cafes and restaurants where you can taste local dishes overlooking the lake. Large selection of hotels and apartments for every budget. Entertainment for all ages and requests: from ice skating to casinos.
We don't know what you will remember the most, but it will definitely be unforgettable!
