The lake is also close to a sanctuary for rhinos, which is another great reason to visit.
Lake Bled, Slovenia bled had a tiny little island in the centre, home to a Dracula esque castle, which if you climb gives you amazing views of the surrounding vistas. Local lore says if you ring the castle bell and make a wish you will be blessed, so make sure you do so before you head back to your hotel, which more often than not will have a pool with a built in thermal spa.
