Your visit to our iconic island church begins with a peaceful ride across Lake Bled in a traditional hand-propelled 'pletna' boat. Once you arrive, a beautiful 99-step stone staircase leads you up to the church entrance. Don't forget to ring the legendary wishing bell inside for good luck! The island itself is tiny, so you can easily wander around and soak in the serene atmosphere and stunning views of the surrounding Julian Alps before your boatman rows you back.
