Lake Bled In Fall Colors

Leave a comment

Everything just looks better in the fall. Most people flock to Lake Bled in the summer, but fall is an awesome time to visit this natural beauty. The temperatures are mild and the stunningly blue water is surrounded by hues of gold, orange and red.

Botanical experts will tell you that fall colors are difficult to predict any given year. Much depends on how low temperatures drop at night. Typically, with the weather getting warmer, it seems that fall colors in the Bled area now begin in early October. Generally, the second half of October is a good bet, but there are no guarantees with nature.

Slovenia’s fall colors are amazing and Lake Bled is one of the best places in the country to enjoy the full “Colorama” experience! It looks amazing in the fall, even if the weather isn’t the best. (photo: Bojan Kolman)
