What could be more evocative than soaring above Lake Bled in the early morning and enjoying the stillness and silence with views of the mountains, Bled and its castle?

The Balloon flight lasts just under an hour and your journey takes you as low as 50 metres above Lake Bled and up to a maximum of 500 meters. This unusual adventure is finished off with a glass of sparkling wine. Breakfast at hotel

On the dominant rocky edge above Lake Bled stands one of the oldest medieval fortresses in Slovenia. From the terraces there are magnificent views towards the Julian Alps, the lake and island below. Take time to have a drink and soak up the views.

Finally take the traditional “Pletna”, Bleds unique hand powered boat which transfers guests to the island to visit the church and ring the bell, a centuries old tradition which assures, unlike other bells, to really make wishes come true!!

DAY 4

Private Tour Of Ljubljana and then flight home after your Lake Bled Slovenia Holiday
Private transfer to Ljubljana for short city tour. Ljubljana as a capital city still retains the warmth and charm of the medieval town it is. The architecture of the city centre has lots of contrasting styles from art nouveau mansions to chic modern buildings with narrow cobbled streets squeezed between the castle slopes and the Ljubljanica river. In the summer the numerous cafes and restaurants move outdoors, to create a lively Mediterranean feel.

Finally end your special weekend break by taking a train ride up to the Ljubljana Castle for spectacular views across the entire city.

Few people know that the world famous Lipizzaner horses come from Lipica, a small village in the Slovene Karst region.

Enjoy a tour of the stud farm and the opportunity to see the horses perform. Note: Sunday/Tuesday/Friday only
