Photo Gallery: A Hike To Mt. Golica Covered In A White Blanket Of Daffodils
Every year between the months of May and June, thousands of white daffodils are blooming on the slopes of Golica, a mountain in the Karavanke range above the town of Jesenice, only a ten minute drive from Bled. It’s a hike well worth taking in the late spring.

The time when it’s still winter but spring is ready and waiting
It has been a long winter with lots of snow in the Lake Bled area of Slovenia, but the warm early-March sun was out most of the time in the last few days and snow melted quickly in the valleys. Currently only the mountains still have a covering of snow on the top.

Photo Gallery: A Trip To The Frozen Pericnik Waterfall In Winter
Waterfall Pericnik is located in the Vrata Valley, near the village of Mojstrana, about half an hour drive from Bled. The short walk up to the waterfall is a little steep but fun and takes less than 10 minutes. Pericnik is spectacular in every season throughout the year, but the most impressive sight of this 52 meter-high waterfall is in the winter months when it turns into a giant wall of icicles and floes.
Our friend, Matej Stegar, who is a passionate amateur landscape photographer, has visited Waterfall Pericnik on February 15th and shared these wonderful photos with us. Thank you so much Matej!
