Description
Bled is the image of paradise on Earth. The beauty of nature cradling this wonderful city is what attracts guests from all over the world to visit. With this live-streamed, interactive Online Experience, you will learn about the history of Bled and its castle, all from the comfort of your own home.
Since 1004, the castle has stood on a mighty rock above the lake. Old archaeological finds testify that this area was inhabited as early as the Stone Age. We will begin our tour from the entrance of the castle situated on a hilltop and move to what once was a chapel. This chapel has beautifully painted walls and ceilings, which give it the illusion of being larger than it is. After the chapel, we will visit the museum at the castle to see some of the highlights and stories about the man who started tourism in Bled by promoting it as a therapeutic place. The castle's terrace, which rises 125m (140 yards) above the lake, will give you a gorgeous panoramic view of the Bled city, Lake Bled, and the island. Along with the wonderful view, you will be accompanied by the stories of legends and the life of the locals in Bled. Next, we will visit a copy of Gutenberg's printing house, which is located in the vicinity, and you will find out all about printing and how it was carried out six hundred and fifty years ago.
