Get ready Slovenia, Polar temperatures are coming this weekend and there’s a good chance we’ll all be able to walk across the frozen Lake Bled to the picturesque island with a church in the middle.
A special experience is a walk on the ice-covered Lake Bled all the way to the island, but only when the ice is thick enough. (photo: Franci Ferjan)

Lake Bled, with its Gothic church in the middle of a lake, traditionally an important pilgrimage destination, has long been one of the most popular destinations in Slovenia. Its picturesque island church is visited by thousands of tourists every year, but except in the winter, when the lake frequently freezes over, there is only one way to reach the island: by rowing a boat across the lake.
