Take a tour of Bled Lake and Island in Slovenia – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

One of Slovenia’s few natural lakes, and also one the country’s most enamoring features is the expansive Lake Bled.

Gently disturbing the smooth, glassy surface of the lake is a single small island, called Bled Island.

Secluded by trees, the 15th century Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary is visible on the island thanks to its tall steeple.

In the winter, snow blankets the shores of Lake Bled and the calm surface of the waters frequently freeze over.

The Alps, which rise strikingly above the lake and reflect their image in the still water, provide a gorgeous backdrop to the scene.

Because of how beautiful Bled Island is, many couples travel here to be married in the church.
