Before the COVID-19 pandemic more than half a million tourists flooded Bled every year. But with the shutdown and travel bans around the world put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourists just about disappeared from Bled for more then 3 months.

Now, the tourists are slowly starting to return to Bled after Slovenia reopened its borders as the country brought the Coronavirus situation well under control. But the streets and walking paths around Lake Bled are still almost empty, giving tourists a unique opportunity to visit and explore Lake Bled without crowds.

The walking path around Lake Bled is 6 kilometers long and is suitable for walks, recreation, cycling or walks with small children (the path can be easily transported by stroller, scooter or pushchair).
