The 18-hole, par-73 King's Course at the Bled Golf & Country Club, 3km to the east of
the lake near Lesce, is Slovenia's best golf course and, with its dramatic mountain back-

Hiking
There are many short and easy signposted hikes around Bled (numbered signs correspond
to numbered routes on the local hiking maps, such as the 1:30,000 GZS map
Bled
, which
costs €8.50). One of the best is trail No 6 from the southwest corner of the lake to the
summit of Velika Osojnica (756m). The view from the top - over the lake, island and
castle, with the peaks of the Karavanke in the background - is stunning, especially toward
sunset. The climb to the first summit is steep, but the round trip, returning via Ojstrica
(610m), takes only three hours or so.
