Bled is a town on Lake Bled in the Upper Carniolan region of northwestern Slovenia. It's the administrative seat of the Municipality of Bled. It is most notable as a popular tourist destination in Slovenia, attracting visitors from abroad too.
Bled is located on the southern foot of the Karawanks mountain range near the border with Austria, about 50 km northwest of the state capital Ljubljana. There is a thermal spring (23 °C) near the lake, next to the Bled Fault. Its water is used in indoor pools in hotels.
Bled is known for the glacial Lake Bled, which makes it a major tourist attraction. Naturopath Arnold Rikli (1823–1906) from Switzerland contributed significantly to the development of Bled as a health resort in the second half of the 19th century. Due to its mild climate, Bled has been visited by aristocratic guests from all across the world.
Today it is an important convention centre and tourist resort, offering a wide range of sports activities (golf, fishing, and horseback-riding). It is a starting point for mountain treks and hikes, especially within nearby Triglav National Park.
