Rising highest at Mount Triglav, the Julian Alps is a striking snow-capped mountain range. Named after Julius Caesar, who founded one of the towns in the foothills of the Julian Alps mountains, the range offers incredible alpine views to the hikers and cyclists who tackle its jagged peaks. Much of the Julian Alps lie within the conservation area of Triglav, Slovenia’s only national park, where you can see crashing waterfalls, rivers, gorges and lakes.

Discover the Beauty of Lake Bled

In the foothills of the Julian Alps, the iconic town of Bled is best known for its incredible glacial lake, Lake Bled. Check into a hotel in Bled and you will have the lake’s famous blue-green water on your doorstep.

Bled is also the perfect starting point for treks, hikes and bike rides up into the Julian Alps. The lake serves up lovely views from every part of its shoreline and you can rent traditional, flat-bottomed boats to sail out on to the water. But the lake isn’t just a pretty face; thermal springs warm the water up to a toasty 26 degrees Celsius in the summer, making it ideal for swimming and diving.

Only Lake Bohinj, the biggest glacial lake in the Slovenia, is a match for Lake Bled’s beauty. Head half an hour south west of Bled to find it and decide for yourself which one is the fairest.
