Visiting the park is great at any day of the week, in every season of the year – be it spring, summer, autumn or winter time; you won´t regret it!

It features caves hidden underneath, which adds to the mystery of it all. The castle has guided tours, which tell you about its construction and the people that lived there.

Since no visit to Slovenia can be made without seeing Lake Bled — the scenic Alpine lake with its church on an island in the middle of a mountain and forest landscape.
