5. Walk around Lake Bled

 
Take a nice stroll after some Bled cake and walk the 6km track around the lake. If you go at a good pace it should only take 60-70 minutes. 

Zdraviliški Park is a nice park in town next to the lake perfect for a picnic lunch.

Slovenia - 4. Have a slice of Bled Cake

 After the short hike to the viewpoint, you'll be ready to get something to eat. Be sure to try the famous Bled cake. It's a layered cake that is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We were told to get one at Slaščičarna Šmon Cafe and we were not disappointed.

But there is more to eat in Lake Bled than just cake! Check out this foodie guide to Lake Bled.

Slovenia - 3. Hike to the Lake Bled Viewpoint

 Another great viewpoint of the lake is from the west side at the Ojstrica viewpoint. It's a 20 minute walk uphill from the main road and you won't be disappointed with the view.

Try to make it for sunrise. You can take another route and climb up to Mala Osojnica viewpoint for another angle of the lake but we felt Ojstrica was just fine.
