Drinking
Alcohol is only sold to people over 18, and after 21:00 it
cannot be bought in stores.
Electricity
Like most European countries, Slovenias voltage is 220 volts
AC, 50 Hz, and the country uses European two-pin plugs.
Language
Slovenian is a Southern Slavic language with a 25-letter
alphabet. It is closely related to Serbian and Croatian, and
shares many words with other Slavic languages. Many Slovenes
also speak English, Italian, or German embarassingly well.
Money
Slovenia temporarily swapped the Yugoslav dinar for the tolar
in 1991, and adopted the euro in January 2007. Euro coins
come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, 1 and
2 euros, while banknotes come in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and
500 euros. The Slovenian side of the euro coins are decorated
with among other things storks, Mount Triglav, Lippizaner
horses, a man sowing stars and a Joe Plenik design.
Politics
The Republic of Slovenia is a parliamentary democracy.
The president, Dr DaniloTrk, was elected in 2007. Borut
Pahor has been the prime minister since 2008. The next
parliamentary elections will be in September 2012. The
government consists of the PM and 15 ministers, of which
two are without portfolio.
Religion
Although Slovenians are traditionally Roman Catholic, the
most recent Eurobarometer Poll in 2005 found that only 37%
of the population believe in a god, with 16% atheists and the
rest of them believing in something.
Smoking
Cigarettes cant be sol d to peopl e under 18. Slovenia
recentl y banned smoki ng from publ i c i ndoor spaces
except in special smoking areas in offices, hotels and
bars.
Tipping
Its not traditional to tip in Slovenia, though a reward of
about 10% for good service in a restaurant or bar is always
appreciated.
Visas
Many foreigners simply need a passport or ID card to enter
Slovenia. Those requiring a visa will be able to travel freely
between the Schengen-agreement countries for a limited
amount of time, usually 90 days. Always check these details
with a Slovenian embassy or consulate. Further information
can be found at www.mzz.gov.si.
Having fun at Lake Bled Turizem Bled
bled.inyourpocket.com
The splendor of Bled and its surroundings is often
referred to as the second Eden, full of charm and
grace by writers, poets, rulers, presidents, foreigners
that have passed through these lands and even the
local folk that have resided here from more than 1000
years.
From the very first moment when you enter the town of
Bled, you will be struck by how much such a small town
has to offer: high rising mountains reflect their faces
onto Bleds pristine lake, an enchanting islet seems to
float upon the lakes water and a large medieval castle is
nestled upon a high-rising cliff dominating the backdrop
of the entire town. The Bled Lake and the nearby rivers
are perfect for summer activities such as swimming,
rowing, rafting and kayaking and during the winter the
nearby Julian Alps offer numerous opportunities for
skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing. The villages
of Bohinj and Kranjska Gora are also worth a visit for
those needing further relaxation or adventure.
Let Bled consume all your senses and leave you with
memories which you can cherish for a li fetime.

ARRIVING IN CITIES

GETTING AROUND
Summer - Autumn 2009 bled.inyourpocket.com
Arriving in Bled
As little as an hour away from the capital tucked up close
to the Austrian border, getting to Bled by train (via Lexce
Bled station), bus or car is a relatively painless experience.
Arriving by car
Take the A2 highway northwest out of the city and follow
the signs for Kranj. Bled is well signposted once youre
out in the countryside. Journey time is around one hour
depending on weather and traffic.
Arriving by train
Although Bled itself has no train station, nearby Lesce-
Bled station on the main line is convenient for hopping
onto one of the regular buses to Bled, 4 kilometres away.
Arriving by bus
Buses leave regularly from the main bus station in Ljublja-
na and take about 80 minutes to make the journey. Close
to the town centre at the northeastern tip of the lake,
Bleds dinky little bus station (avtobusno postajalie)
doesnt offer much in the way of excitement beyond a
kiosk outside selling chocolate, soft drinks and cigarettes.
Inside is a combined Alpetour and ticket office. Toilets are
in the same building and are free to use. The small waiting
room has several luggage lockers against one wall, which
we were reliably informed by the lady selling tickets were
not for public use. To get the centre, walk south along Svo-
bode until you hit the water. Good free maps are available
from the Jelovica hotel, visible from the bus station.
Arriving in Bohinj
Arriving by car
Take the A2 motorway north in the direction of Kranj and
Jesenice. After passing Kranj, take the exit for Bled. Follow
signs for Bled and pass through the town on the main road
and approximately halfway around the lake. Youll then
see signs directing you to Bohinj. The drive from Ljubljana
should take around an hour and 15 minutes.
Arriving by train
Trains from Ljubljana to Bohinjska Bistrica, a village around
five kilometres from the lake, leave regularly. Most trains
involve a change in Jesenice, and take about two hours.
Arriving by bus
There are numerous daily buses from Ljubljana to Bohinj.
They leave every hour on the hour throughout the day and
the journey takes two hours.
Arriving in Kranjska Gora
Arriving by car
To get to Kranjska Gora by car, head north out of Ljubljana to
reach the motorway. Take the A2 towards Kranj and Jesenice.
Pass Kranj and continue in the direction of Jesenice. Once
there you will see signs for Kranjska Gora. But be careful,
if you miss the exit, youll wind up driving through the eight-
kilometre-long Karawanken tunnel into Austria! After exiting
in Jesenice, continue following the signs for Kranjska Gora.
The short drive from there is entirely on a windy two-lane
road. The whole drive should take around an hour.
Arriving by train
There isnt a train that takes you all the way to Kranjska Gora
from Ljubljana, but if you have a rail pass you want to take
advantage of, it is possible to travel by train to Jesenice and
then catch a bus the rest of the way.
Arriving by bus
Buses from Ljubljana leave once an hour throughout most
of the day. The trip takes exactly two hours and lets you
soak up the amazing Alpine scenery. The only interruption
from the beautiful views is when you go through the steel
town of Jesenice. The bus drops you off in Kranjska Gora
a five-minute walk from the main square. A one-way trip
cost around 8.

Experience Bled in a whole new way
History
The fertile land and the protective shelter of the castle hill and
the island, have always invited settlement around the Bled
area. The first, and rare traces of humans in Bled, date back
to the Stone Age. In the Iron Age, when the mining of iron had
begun in the Alpine regions, settlement increased.

Beneath the layer of an already discovered Slavic necropo-
lis at Pristava pod Gradom, archeologists discovered 80
gravesites from the late Iron Age (800 to 600 BC) - Celtic and
Roman finds however, are more modest. Bled was later well
populated by the Slavs, who arrived in two waves. The Slavic
settlements were most probably located at exactly the same
spots where the lakeside villages of Mlino, elee, Zagorice,
Grad and Reica formed in the late Middle Ages.

A number of gravesites are well known: ale - the site of a
modern day cemetery (archeologically excavated in 1894),
the park at the current Vila Bled (1929), the necropolis in
elee (1937), the large necropolis at Pristava pod Gradom
(1948 to 1951), the gravesites next to the current parking
area below the entrance to the castle (1960, 1968) and the
necropolis on Bled island (1962 to 1966).
Slavic settlement
The first wave of settlement of the Bled area occurred in the
7th century, the next reached the Bled basin during the 9th
and 10th centuries. Discoveries from the first settlements
illustrate the culture of the Old Slavic state of King Samo
(632 - 658) and the late antiquity traditions in these lands.
The discoveries from the second wave of settlement, such
as ornaments found in gravesites include enamelled and
engraved earrings in the shape of half-moons, circlets, round
brooches and iron knives. These artefacts indicate the histori-
cal development of Bled up to the 10th century and some of
these can be seen on exhibition at the Castle museum.
The bishops of Brixen
After the fall of the Old Slavic state, Bled with its surrounding
area fell under Frankisch (Charlemagne 782) and later under
German rule. In 1004 the emperor Henrik II divided the
lands between the two Sava Rivers, and in 1011 awarded
Bled Castle, to Bishop Albuin of Brixen - a photocopy of the
original title deed can be found in the collection at the castle.
This action was a major turning point in the history of Bled.
The keepers of the castle were bonded knights, who upheld
feudal authority in the name of the bishops.
As a result, great changes occurred in the forming of estates
and the settlement of the region. In the middle of the 14th
century the Bishops of Brixen gave up direct administration
of their properties in Bled and leased them to the chief
administrators at the time, the von Kreigh family. Because
of encroachment on their rights and brutal treatment and
oppression, in 1515 the peasants joined the fight for the old
justice in a pan-Slovene revolt.

In 1558 a new holder, the Protestant protector Herbert VII of
Auersperg, took over the castle. Until the middle of the 18th
century the lessors were exclusively aristocratic; later these
also included townsmen, but they rarely lived in the castle. In
1803, after 800 years of Brixen rule, Bled passed into state
ownership by a decree of the Court Commission in Vienna.
From 1809 to 1813, it was included in Napoleons Empire as
part of the Illyrian provinces, and then it came once again into
the hands of the Austrian Emperor who returned Bled to the
bishops of Brixen for the last time in 1838. With the abolish-
ment of the feudal system ten years later, the estate lost its
character of a feudal economic and social unit. In the second
half of the 19th century, Bled changed considerably. The
characteristic villages of Gorenjska, which had been autono-
mous units ever since the Middle Ages, were united. Income
decreased, and in 1858 Brixen sold the Bled estate to Viktor
Ruard, the owner of the Jesenice Ironworks. He kept the castle,
the lake and the usable land around it, and sold the rest to the
Kranj Industrial Company. In 1882 Ruard sold the estate to a
Viennese wholesale merchant named Adolf Muhr, and in 1919
Bled hotelier Ivan Kenda bought the castle with the lake - for the
first time the property passed into Slovenian hands. In 1937 it
was taken over by the Associated Commercial Bank and finally
bought by the Drava Province. During World War II, Bled was
used to house the German military and civil headquarters, and
in 1960 it acquired the status of a town.
A peaceful town with good food, decent nightlife and a picture-
perfect setting along a lake with dramatic cliffs, an island,
castle and alpine backdrop, Bled is the perfect weekend out
waiting to happen. Apart from walking, hiking and boating
on the lake, the town offers relaxed rides in horse-carts and
guilty sessions of eating cream cakes (a local speciality).

in Bled, you can still get Italian and, in general, international
dishes here. Having been a professional athlete, the owner
travelled extensivel y and is now obsessed with having the
same customer service he has seen around the world, and

Admission 7/3.50.
Lake Bled Bleds most famus feature is the crystal-clear
lake which has an island crowned by the 55-metre tower of
the Baroque Church of the Assumption. The backdrop of
mountains makes this view especiall y irresistable. Visitors
can take a boat tour to the island (12, tel. 041 427 155)
on characteristic pletna boats, which include half an hour to
wander around or visit the church. Boats leave from the Health
Park, at Hotel Park and at the rowing centre.
Churches
Church of the Assumption B-3, Bled island. Sticking
out of the island in the middle of the lake, the Church of the
Assumption has been much battered by earthquakes and
lightning over the centuries. Several churches have occupied
this prime location since one was first buil t here in the 12th
century. The current incarnation is from the 17th century.
Inside, the impressive al tar and the last surviving frescoes
from an earlier Gothic church are worth a look.
St. Martins Church D-2, . A white neo-Gothic beauty
erected in 1905, St. Martins was designed by same architect
who designed Viennas town hall, and it shows in the sheer
verticality of the building. The church is surrounded by the
walls which had to protect the earlier church from Ottoman
incursions. The interior has frescoes from the late 1930s.

This is a very, very interesting place. Its the region that
contains the biggest natural lake in Slovenia. Located
in the Triglav National Park, which is naturall y beauti ful,
i ts technicall y wi thin the same region as Kranjska
Gora, Gorenska, but i t has a very di fferent feeling to
i t. Where Kranjska Gora caters to a more eli te crowd,
where comfort and, in general, a higher-end environ-
ment matters more, Bohinj and i ts surroundings are
trul y unspoiled and the feeling of forced tourism is
nowhere to be found.

People here are the defini tion of amiable, attenti ve
and courteous. This is where you come i f you want
to be treated as a guest, not as a client. Everyone
here knows each other and theres a general sense
of camaraderie. Youll see them recommending each
others restaurants and hotels, instead of being overl y
competi ti ve and trying to hoard all the tourists.
Not once from all the places we visi ted did we en-
counter bad service, or good service that didnt seem
genuine.

Just dont expect a lot of frills. Nightli fe is li terall y
non-existent and overl y luxurious hotels are hard to
find. Come here wi th your famil y to enj oy the nature, or
wi th your partner to show him or her how romantic a
getaway can be. Highl y recommended.
About 14,000 years ago, a valley was created by a glacier
that cut its way through the land which came to be known
as the lower and upper Bohinj valleys. Historical findings
prove the valley was populated as early as the Bronze Age,
and the 5000 inhabitants of todays Bohinj are mostly
descendents of the native people.
The area was first used for iron working and mining but the
ancient method of extracting iron died out a hundred years
ago. In the villages of Stara Fuzina (Old Forge) and Rudnica
(mine) serve as the only reminders of those times.
Today, cowbells can still be heard ringing out across the
mountains. The manner of life in Bohinj is in many ways
still tied to traditions that stretch back hundreds of years.
The Alpine Farming Museum in Stara Fuzina offers another
glimpse of the past. The architectural heritage of old Bohinj
is still visible in many of the well-preserved alpine cot-
tages with balconies and shingle roofs. The ethnographic
features are most evident at the Oplen House Museum in
the village of Studor, which also preserves the traditional
village plan, with houses and hayricks huddled together.
Bohinj was and still is oriented to the Catholic religion,
considering the 11 churches that are speckled around the
area. The four main churches are: St. Nicholas Church in
Bohinjska Bistrica, St. Pauls Church in Stara Fuina, St.
Martins Church in Srednja Vas and St. John the Baptists
Church in Ribev Laz. Slovenias leading poet, France
Preseren, once wrote an epic poem Krst pri Savici (the
Christening at Savica), which although largely fictional,
depicts the time of violent baptism and battles between
the Christians and pagans which took place around
Bohinj and Bled.

Kranj ska Gora was fi rst formed when i nhabi tants
started clearing the forests to make space for farm
land and pastures back in the second hal f of the 14th
century.
It wasnt until World War I, when the village started to
gain some significance. Russian prisoners constructed
a road that led from the Sava to Soa Valleys which
passes through the 1611 metre Vri highlands. Soon
after, a railroad was built and Kranjska Gora started to
acquire its fame as a tourist region providing access to
the mountains, forests and valleys.
A blossoming tourist activity in the Kranjska Gora region
arose when the first cable cars were built on the sides of
the Vitranc at the end of the fi fties in which ski jumping
and ski flying became increasingly popular.
Kranjska Gora and its position on the tri-border be-
tween Slovenia, Austria and Italy certainly boosted its
achievement, and was once host to the annual Alpine
Skiing World Cup.
For tourists, the region of Kranjska Gora particularly
represents an excellent combination of a cosmopolitan
tourist village and the idyllic serenity of its surroundings.
Kranjska Gora is the cultural and social centre of the
region, and also known as the alpine heart.

People from the Gorenjska region, the north-west part
of Slovenia dominated by the Julian Alps, are known as
being the most frugal Slovenes, to put it politely. It isnt
hard to believe, though, since li fe has always been a
struggle in the harsh winters of the rugged mountains.
While not considered very outgoing and extroverted,
the locals will warm up to you once youve won them
over. One way you can do that is by showing them your
prowess on the slopes or by enjoying a shot of a locals
homemade schnapps. Remember to always look people
in the eyes when saying Cheers!
The region is, not surprisingly, famous for its skiing and
other winter sports. People from the area are often
excellent skiers, as parents have their kids racing down
the toughest runs as soon as they learn how to walk.
Slovenias professional skiers have enjoyed a signi ficant
amount of success in World Cup and Olympic competi-
tions and most of them hail from Gorenjska. The Vitranc
World Cup event, held every winter in Kranjska Gora, and
the annual ski flying event in nearby Planica bring thou-
sands of spectators to the tiny resort, turning it into the
party capital of Slovenia, at least for a weekend or two.
Traditional food in the region is hearty, Austrian-style
fare. Sausages and thick slabs of pork are usually
served with sauerkraut and potatoes with pancakes
or apple strudel for dessert. In order to brace yoursel f
before heading out into the cold, it isnt unusual to
have a strong drink to finish off your meal. For the true
Gorenjska experience, try the blueberry brandy locals
call borovnievec.
