Some city slickers don't ever like leaving their environs, but if you're lounging around Ljubljana in Slovenia during the summer months, you must pull yourself away and travel to Lake Bled.

Years ago, our friend Sam went and said it was the "highlight of Slovenia."

Said Sam: "The lake - surrounded by dense green forest - boasts breathtaking aqua blue-green waters. Sunbathers from the Balkans and beyond swim in the lake's crisp, clear, and clean waters. With such incredible scenery, the lake is reminiscent of an Eden, especially given a majestic island church that juts out."

Lake Bled is only 40 km outside Ljubljana, so put down that Union beer in Old Town, gather those picnic goodies and get ready for that big, happy splash.
