Bled
The Bled Lake, with it's picture perfect church on an island, is one of most popular Slovenian resorts and it came into existance when the Bohinj Glacier moved away.
It is 2120 m long, up to 1380 m wide and it is of the tectonic origin, After the last Ice Age, the Bohinj Glacier deepend its natural tectonic hollow and gave it its present form. When the ice melted the basin was filled with water. The lake has no considerable affluents except some streams. The thermal springs in the northeast part are captured in local swimming pools. The beauty of the lake is stressed by the island on the west side. The temperature of the lake reaches up to 25°C in the summer and gets ice covered in winter.
Bled lake and its attractions are only 20 km away from Bohinj ECO Hotel.
