Slovenia is a very beautiful country and one of its most beautiful areas is Lake Bled.

Perched dramatically 427 feet above the lake is Bled Castle, the country's second most popular place to visit.

This Romanesque and Baroque styled castle was built sometime before the eleventh century and is one of Slovenia's oldest castles.

Between its sheer cliff-sides and its moat and drawbridge, Bled Castle enjoys a highly fortified and defendable position.

An added benefit of its prominent location is the castle’s has breath-taking views of the Slovene region of the Alps mountain range.

The blue waters and greenery of summer and the white, pristine winter makes Bled Castle a prime destination any time of year.
