Bled is one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia. The fairy tale image of the island in the middle of the lake fascinates every visitor. It is especially magical on New Year’s Eve when you can do a bunch of interesting and pleasant things before entering into the New Year after midnight.
#1 A walk around the lake
A trail around the lake is six kilometers long and suitable for everyone. By walking in the fresh alpine air you will charge your batteries and get ready for the longest night. Your walk will be embellished by a pleasant view of the island in the middle of the lake and the Karavanke Mountains in the distance. You can take the path and direct yourself to Castle Hill or nearby hills with a beautiful view of the lake and its surroundings.
#2 Ice skating rink with a view after lunch
„Bled ice skating rink with a view“ on the Hotel Park Coffee Shop terrace is a fairytale experience for families and lovers of all ages. It’s open from the 23rd of November 2018 until January 16th of 2019, between 9.00 AM and 9.00 PM. Every Wednesday you can try Curling, and every Friday you can do Salsa! And on the weekends you can ice skate to the rhythm of DJ Music!
#3 Taste Bled cream cake
Eating something sweet after ice skating is always a joy. Kremšnita is a symbol of Bled cuisine. You can get this dessert everywhere in Slovenia, but only one is the real Bled one. It consists of golden-baked leafy lard, delicious vanilla cream, sweet cream, and a crunchy leafy dough shaken with powdered sugar. It is served almost in every café and restaurant in the city.
#4 Festive Promenade and a visit to Christmas crib in the afternoon
This year a Festive Promenade a.k.a. Winter Fairytale will be set up in Bled from the 30th of November 2018 to the 6th of January 2019!
