When you are in Bled you will have to take a trip on a boat out to the island, to look around the church and ring the bell. No more than an hour required there.

you can board a gondola for 10-15 people for a ride to the island and back, with 30 min stop on the island, enough time to see the interesting church and the island itself

The church on the island in the middle of the lake looks like a fairy tale. Though small, the interior of the church is just beautiful. This only takes an hour (15 minutes each way to go out and 30 minutes for the island) and well worth doing.

We enjoyed our boat trip to the island. It was a bit gondola style with a man stood at the back rowing. Ours took about 10 minutes, there are lots of different points you can pick up a boat, and if you feel energetic you can hire a rowing boat to row yourself there. We had half an hour on... More

Don't visit Lake Bled and skip the island! It is so beautiful and peaceful to visit and offers a different Bled experience. The boatride over was enjoyable even though we went there in light rain. Nice views of Bled town from there. Overall a peaceful outing and very romantic.

It is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia. Surrounded by Slovenian mountains and very clear water. Even the trip with the boat is worth your money and your time! Don't forget to try the ˝Bled cremeschnitte = Bled cream cake˝ in one of the bars-restaurants.
