Meet your guide at your centrally located Ljubljana hotel for a full day tour of Postojna cave and Lake Bled. Buckle-up in a cozy air-conditioned minivan/car and drive about half an hour through rural Slovenia towards Postojna.
First stop will be at Postojna caves with a mysterious Predjama castle. After enjoying in the mysterious underground world you will drive to the Lake Bled observing a beautiful countryside with forests and mountain ranges. Then, arrive and enjoy a moment to view the blue topaz waters that surround the forest green Bled Island like an iris around a pupil. Observe the Church of the Assumption of Mary on the rock islet and realize its insignificance as you see the Julian Alps rise in the background. Next, step onto a traditional two-oared wooden pletna for a short paddle to Bled Island (own expense). After a 15-minute ride, hop onto the island and spend a half hour exploring on your own. Stop for a bite at the cafe and taste a traditional Slovenian nut roll called potica (own expense) or stroll into the church (own expense). Reconvene with your guide and journey to Bled Castle (own expense) which was built on a precipice during the 11th Century. Explore its restored Renaissance towers that give an eagle eye view of the city below. Hear how its strategic locations played an important role in medieval history. Enter the museum to see its artifacts, armor and weaponry. Spend some free time to capture unparalleled views of Lake Bled from atop the cliff. Cruise back down to the lake and enjoy some leisure time to snap a selfie or grab a snack at a local cafe (own expense). As you drive back to your hotel, relax with memorable views of lush Slovenia.
