Overview
Slovenia is easily accessible from Istria. And this tour explores one of its most picture-postcard areas – Lake Bled, with its emerald-coloured waters and turreted castle framed against the backdrop of the Julian Alps.Lake Bled is the epitome of Alpine tranquillity – you'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd stumbled on to a filming location for the Sound of Music. The pine-clad slopes, the picturesque dwellings and the fairytale wooded islet with 99 steps leading to St Mary's Chapel are irresistible.First up is medieval Bled Castle, set into a towering cliff face. With its cone-shaped turrets and lofty parapets, it's something special. Then it's into your locally made wood boat, to be rowed across to the incredibly pretty chapel. The chapel is steeped in legend, from how you ring the bell to how a groom carries his bride.
