Day 4: Lake Bled 8 km. Free day in Bled or a short round walk to the Vintgar gorge of river Radovna - a mile long canyon with a waterfall on the end. Main attractions: time to explore Bled – its Lake, island church, the castle on the rock. We liked the cream cake in Park hotel – famous in all central Europe.
