2Lake Bled, Slovenia

Lake Bled is a popular summer destination, but winter reveals a different, quieter beauty. Surrounded by the Julian Alps, this Slovenian gem becomes a serene winter wonderland with its lake and medieval Bled Castle dusted with snow. 

The picturesque Church of the Assumption, located on an island in the middle of Lake Bled, becomes even more magical in winter when mist hovers over the lake.

Visitors can try ice skating on nearby frozen ponds, enjoy a peaceful horse-drawn carriage ride, or relax with local mulled wine while admiring the views.
