Good morning from Lake Bled in Slovenia
In case you just joined us we are Mansoureh and Bruno
we began our road trip in Italy and drove to Slovenia. In the last few days, we explored
Piran a town on the Slovenian coast and Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Today we
left Ljubljana for a day trip to visit one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe.
we drove 40 minutes from Ljubljana to here
and today, we are going to explore this famous lake and surrounding
once upon a time a young widow lived in a castle of Bled. Her husband was killed by robbers
so she gathered all her gold and silver and cast a bel to his memory, however, a terrible storm sang the bell
the boat and the boatmen as it was being delivered to the island. That's why nowadays sometimes
during the night you can hear the bell ringing from down in the water.
The widow went to Rome and became a nun
after her death, the pope heard about her misfortune and cast the new bell and
sent it to the church on this island. If you ring the bell three times your wish will come true
this bottle keeps the water really cool and I need it for now
I don't know why they built all the castle so high and we should climb. it's hot
the view is stunning
Bled Castle is standing at the top of a steep cliff
above the lake, at a height of 130 meters built in the 11th century, it is the oldest castle in Slovenia
and one of the most visited attractions in the country
if you don't like walking you can come by car or by bike but we love suffering
where are we going? we are going to
rent a stand-up Paddle Board for one hour but we were on the other side of the lake they didn't
have it and now we're going to check this one hopefully, they have it I'm really hot I need to
do some sport but i need to cool down.
now we found the place and we are going for one hour per paddling
here you can rent a boat or take a boat tour and you can also like us rent a paddleboard to go to the island
On a hot day, a refreshing swim here is a must-do. Am I right? let's go and eat
yesterday we had a chat with a local Slovenian guy and he told us nowadays burger is quite popular
in Slovenia and they do it really good that's why today we went for a burger. The burger looks amazing
and the view you can see. oh my god I don't know how to start it's the hardest thing to do
I finished the burger you might not believe it but I finished it and
we are ready to have dessert and we can't leave Lake Bled without trying this cake.
This cake is original Bled cream cake it's different layers the pastry on the bottom and creamy is good
now we should say bye to lake Bled and we are going to check out another lake, Lake Bohinj
I feel we are lucky because when we were outside it was sunny
perfect and we could jump to the water but now it's raining
literally this lake, Lake Bohinj, I can't really pronounce it i put the name down here. it's bigger
and it's less busy than lake Bled
but the lake Bled is more popular. The water here is a bit colder. This lake is not sunny
we are really lucky as soon as we got out of the water and we gave the boards
back the rain has started and for now we are going to drive to the other side of the lake
to get some shots and photo and this is the end of this video see you in the next video
