Bled–Bled Gorge–Vrba–Begunje

The tour will head towards Kranj, starting the sightseeing with a walk through the impressive Bled Gorge (Blejski Vintgar) formed by the Radovna river. After exploring Bled Castle and trying a “kremšnita”, a type of typical flaky pastry made with vanilla and whipped cream, we will take a boat ride to Bled Island.

After a panoramic bus drive around the lake, our excursion will continue to Vrba, the birthplace of the greatest Slovenian poet, France Prešeren. We will visit his house, which is also an ethnological museum. The last part of our trip will follow the theme of Slovene national music. We will visit the Avsenik museum in Begunje, which houses a collection of exhibits concerning the career of Slavko Avsenik, one of the most famous Slovenian musicians. Dinner will be served in the Avsenik inn.
