Bled Island, located in the middle of Lake Bled in northwestern Slovenia, is a picturesque and iconic destination known for its stunning natural beauty and cultural significance. The island features the charming Church of the Assumption, a Baroque-style church with a distinctive bell tower that dates back to the 17th century. Visitors can reach the island by traditional wooden boats known as "pletna" or by rowing themselves. Once on the island, they often partake in the local tradition of ringing the church bell, which is said to bring good luck.
