- Join us as we visit Bled - one of the most picturesque spots in Slovenia.
Lying along the glacial Lake Bled and surrounded by the foothills of the Julian Alps, the town of Bled is an absolutely stunning Slovenian resort town. The lake has all of the ingredients for a perfect getaway including an 11th-century medieval castle, Blejski Grad, perched high on a precipice above the town.
We arrived to Bled from Ljubljana and stayed at a Home Exchange in the nearby village of Bohinjska Bistrica for the first few nights. Bohinjska Bistrica is located near the border of Italy, Austria and Slovenia is home to Lake Bohinj - the largest lake in the country. There is a postcard-worthy church and bell tower, at the head of the lake beside a beautiful stone bridge, dating back at least 700 years! In the area there are also numerous waterfalls and Triglav National Park, the gateway to the highest mountain in the country Mount Triglav at 2864m.
As we explored the region, it felt like we were in a miniature Switzerland surrounded by beautiful mountains, chalets overflowing with flowers, water fountains and more - at a quarter of the cost!
During our time in Bled, we stayed at a beautiful hotel in town called Penzion Berc. Here we also had an amazing dinner at their onsite restaurant called Finefood Berg. www.penzion-berc.si/en/
Bled is the perfect sized town to explore on foot or by bike and there is a beautiful walkway around the entire lake. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Grajska Plaza as we walked along the lakeside walkway. www.grajska-plaza.com/ It had outdoor pools on the lake with water slides going right into the water!
We also discovered that we could take electronic bikes to visit the lake. It was the most fun and fastest way to take a tour. We absolutely loved the peace and quiet as no motor boats are allowed on the water. Along the lake we discovered a hotel named Vila Bled that was once the residence of Tito, the leader of Yugoslavia.
In the middle of the lake there is an enchanting island to visit. Atop this small island is the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Maria and some really good ice cream :-) We took a boat ourselves and had a small picnic in the middle of the lake.
We also visited the Bled Castle which has a tremendous view of the lake from the up above. The castle houses a museum, chapel and printing press!
Straza Bled was next on our list of places to visit in Bled and we are so glad we didn't miss it. Here we enjoyed an epic mountain coaster ride and later had a great meal at the Vegan Kitchen Restaurant. public-vegan-kitchen-bled.bus...
Bled has many other outdoor attractions, including hiking trails, secluded swimming spots and in the winter, skiing and skating. We visited off season in October, which was a great time to discover the town with nice weather and less tourists.

One another great video ! Bled in amazing, but Slovenian people prefer smal village Bohinj, with beautiful green lake "Bohinjsko jezero" and all mountains around. You are so, so nice family !
Thanks! Yes that lake Bohinj was beautiful...very quite and peaceful.
I hope you enjoy many of our other videos we’ve created too.
Slovenia seems like a very nice place. I have watched some of your videos on the TV before, but this is my first time commenting. We travelled a lot with our kids when they were growing up.
Cool we love to hear these nice comments.and so cool that you guys also traveled! So glad you guys are enjoying our videos!
I forgot to mention my wife, son and I currently live in Colorado. Our daughter lives in New York City.

Very Cute Video. Hope to see more from sLOVEnia... :-)
Did you see our video from Lake Bled yet? I hope you enjoy many of your other videos of all the different places we visited!!
Very nice family, i'm Ghassan from Palestine 🇵🇸 from Gaza, i hope everything good for you, God bless you.
I don’t think we’ve had anyone from Palestine watching our videos yet so thanks for letting us know.
hello i'm from slovenia bled it's very nice you were lucky because in the summer there are so many tourists that the government told us that the locals don't go to see the lake bled and if we wanted to see more slovenia we would have to go to the coast and where 1 world war was fought 4 bombs were dropped on each square meter in just one day
Music are all so soothing
Glad you like the songs.
What a beautiful relaxing place. Great video And the Fine Dining looks delicious ,I see why you loved this place Take care
The food was amazing! They definitely know how to do it right. We loved this place!
Very lovely and informative video!

Hi, Dave again. So good to join your family on your adventures, and to learn relevant helpful info like electric bikes. I hope to follow you to Slovenia because my son is a Christian Missionary here. I'm watching on 1-19-22 Love your channel!!!😍
Oh wow! That's amazing. Slovenia is not too big of a country. I should find out the name of a couple our friends know who work in missions there too. Would be funny if they knew each other. I'm glad you're enjoying all our videos!
Love the way the food was laid out for breakfast. Reminded me of my trips through Europe! Steve from Guelph, Canada.
I’m sure you loved them. Europe has the best breakfasts in the world!
You're such a good mother.
Thanks!

Great and cultured family.
Thank-you!
Beautiful place 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It really is!
Amazing! great video. Love all the different places you visited, great edited. Gorgeous vies, great tips for food, thanks !!!
When Slovenia became independent, people were saying we would become second Switzerland:)
But instead we became the second greece
@@thehari75 - Slovenia is certainly doing much better than Greece.
I do realise some people are not happy, but all things considered, it's one of the nicest countries in Europe. Nice towns & villages, beautiful nature, very good quality of life...
According to life satisfaction survey data for 2019, 78% of Slovenians are satisfied with their lives, 18% are neutral and 4% are dissatisfied. Link:
www.stat.si/StatWeb/en/News/Index/8616
Some Slovenians are world champions in bitter moaning & complaining, but in the grand scheme of things life is quite good for most people.
Yeah, but first we must think like Switzerland to be Switzerland. No communistic and socialistic BS.
@@Kintabl Neither far right, too much fighting between left and right
22 years of socialist governments like DS, LMC, SAB, LMŠ, LDS, PS, Levica, assisted by DeSUS, have killed this aspiration.
I liked your video at Penzion Berc. I have put it on a list of potential stays. You show the food you are served so well. Plus Straža Bled. Thanks
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place
your welcome!
Love watching you and the girls enjoying yourselves. Kiwi from Virginia
We're about to release a New Zealand video! :-)
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I am looking forward to that, I was wondering if you were still there.
Slovenia is the richest and the cleanest republic of former Yugoslavia.
Very simmilar to neigborough Austria.
As you can see, everything looks like Austria and Switzerland but with Balcan smell, spiced with Balcan.
One part, western, is simmilar to italy.
Slovenian sea coast, towns Nova Gorica(famous by casinos), Portoroz...
Slovenians are Slavic people, the same as other yugoslavian nations: Serbs, Croats, Macedonians,...
But, they are NOT south Slavs as we are, Serbs, Croats,..., they are western Slavs as Czech people, Slovaks and Poles.
During history Hungarians divided western Slavs, from one side is Slovenians, from other Czech people, Slovaks and Poles.
Actually Slovenians are genetically closer to western Slavs than any other South Slavs. With some German influence as a result being part of German kingdom's for over a thousand years. Lana Scuka is, a typical looking Slovenian girl. Very fair complexion:
ua-cam.com/video/3EnfJxF-nj0/v-deo.html
Croatians, Serbs, Macedonians are South Slavs.
@@ctwentysevenj6531 yep, i can agry, Slovenians are westerb Slavs, germanised as other western Slavs but with richest economy.
Muy interesante me gustaría vivir allí ah y buena comida 🥗🍔🍟👌🤓😋 saludos familia y gracias por enseñar el mundo 🌷💐🌻❣️❤️
Si! La comida es increíble y el paisaje es simplemente espectacular!
amazing video :)
Wine seller looked cool.🤣🤣
Yeah wasn't that so cool!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I was referring to the guy who sells wine😂😂
Wonderful video. i took a few tips where to stay now when in lake bled😊. Can you please tell how many days would be enough for a trip to Slovenia or how many days you stayed in Slovenia? Did you also visit Postojna cave and Predjama Castle, the Julian alps and Vrisic pass?
very nice video. thanks Pattons.
i love you. God bless you.
Spectacular! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Just returned from Slovenia. We had a nice stay at Penzione Berc and walked the shore of Bled as the sun set. Lots of bats were flying just above the water at the shore. Interestingly my wife rode the same sled, #25, at Straza Bled as Chloe. Cheers from Boston.
Oh that’s awesome! Same sled 😂😂It’s so pretty there isn’t it!?!
You Never cease to Amaze ! Great Video. Thanks!

Was this filmed sometime back in September? Seems like a good time to go. Weather still nice but a lot less tourists around.
Video nice
Thanks!
nice
Thanks. We're so glad you're enjoying all our videos!
Beautiful place, when were you there? is there any Covid there?
This was filmed last October 2019 so pre-COVID. That’s why you don’t see anyone wearing masks.
Hi, I'm from Ljubljana and yes, there's a lockdown due to Covid :(
I really miss the busy streets and the people eating and socializing outside..even more now when Christmas is approaching and everything is decorated. Soooo many xmas lights and trees all around Ljubljana for no one to appreciate and enjoy :(
Do you know that Ernest Hamingway's novel A farewell to arms took place in this region. Agatha Christie was on holidays in Bohinj.
That’s so cool! I’ve never read any of his novels so I didn’t know this.
THANKS 😊 Understood, but getting a Visa from my country isn't too easy 👍
Yeah depending on where you’re from it’s not always easy with visas.
Namibia
Awesome!
This is definitely not december pejsage from (now winter) Bled. :) When you were visited place? Regards from Kranj (Slovenian town).
We were there last October 2019.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Nice. Thanx for ansver. :)

I know... I shouldn’t even try because I have no idea how to pronounce them.
Great video. What is mobile phone network you used while in slovenia?. Thanks
I can’t remember but we now sometimes use e-sims which are so easy. You can try this one. www.growingupwithoutborders.com/esim
Is the Straza chairlift still open in winter?
Oh I’m not sure about this. Best to check online.
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
🙏🙌💕
13:28 these are actually the steps, where you have to carry your bride up the stairs to the church. It's a local tradition.
Oh wow! That would be amazing to see. 🤩
Where are you from,,,,,nice job,,,,
We’re from Canada.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Oh canada,!!!!!,,canada awesome👌👌 country,,,,Naigrra waterfall vlog,,please,👏👏
We have a Niagara Falls video on our channel. It's beautiful!
In Slovenia we don't call it gelato but sladoled
How do you manage to keep the girls so chirpy for each vlog?! My boys just grunt and moan when I'm just trying to take photos, nevermind videos! 😬😂
😂😂😂Maybe girls are easier. It’s not always easy though. We all have our moments.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders 🤭
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE ONE TRUE GOD PRAY THIS PRAYER, GOD IN HEAVEN REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME IN JESUS CHRISTS NAME I PRAY AMEN.
Electronic bikes or electric😀😀
Electric 😂😂
Lol, referring to American bread as "traditional" is funny. The bread you were having there was traditional. This is normal bread in Europe. Not the dry white bread you get in North America. Real bread is so good.
If you decide to visit Serbia, not need PCR test so far, i hope it will continue.
Serbia is diferent from Slovenia, different from almost whole Europe as part of Balcan region.
Slovenia is part of Balcan region as part of former Yugoslavia but geographicaly is not.
We are bridge between west and oriental world but different from both, i mean on Balcan countries and Serbia in the midle of Balcan.
Do not expect swiss and slovenian perfection and sterile streets and perfectly colored buildings but expect bunch of fancy restaurants, bars, kafanas, clubs,...
Serbia is proclamed as food destination no1, digital nomad voted and the best place for night fun.
Mostly because of bunch of night clubs and as very cheap country.
Thanks so much for your comment. We came to this area before COVID and we’re just posting them now.
We did come to Belgrade and we’ll be showcasing these videos coming up soon.
We’re excited to share them with everyone!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thanks to you, i hope you having great time in Serbia and this region in general, sorry, my english is poor.
Well,Tito only took over the residences of former Yugoslavian royal family...
He sure did pick the nicest places to have a home.
Hi girl beautiful Kiss heart 💙
thanks!
