On foot
Bled is small enough to cover on foot. A walk around the lake will take just over an hour.
By Rowboat
A popular method of travel to the island church is by renting a rowboat.
By Pletna
The traditional way to reach the lake's island is by a pletna boat, which resembles a huge gondola. The round-trip fare is fixed at â¬12 per person, and the rowers will typically wait to get minimum ten people on the boat before departing. The entire trip takes 90 minutes, including 60 minutes of rowing and 30 minutes on the island. The pletnas depart from various locations around the lake. For reservations visit web site www.pletna.si
By Horse
Horses are available for rent, with or without guides/instructors, at most outdoor agencies. In addition, horse drawn carriages are available for rides around the lake, to the castle, and further afield.
By bike
Bled and the vicinity are great for riding bicycles, which can be rented at many outdoor agencies. There are no designated bike lanes in Bled. Cycling off-road or off-track is not allowed in Slovenia. A list of suggested bike routes is available here.
