No trip to Bled is complete without gliding across the emerald lake on a traditional Pletna boat, a craft unique to this very place since the 16th century. Your skilled oarsman, a profession passed down through generations, will row you from the shore to the enchanting island at the lake's center. You'll have about an hour to explore, climb the 99 steps to the historic church, and ring the legendary wishing bell before the peaceful return journey.
