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

Leave a comment

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!

THINGS TO DO IN WINTER: Hike To Mala Osojnica For The Best View Of Lake Bled

Leave a comment

While pretty much any spot around Lake Bled offers amazing views to photograph, but if you want to get the picture postcard shot of Lake Bled, with both the island church and the castle all backed by the majestic peaks of the Slovenian Alps, you will have to make a little effort and hike to the Mala Osojnica viewpoint.

The hike to the Mala Osojnica viewpoint is one of the best things to do in Bled. At the top is a great viewing point for photography, and you get a fantastic view of Lake Bled, the island church, and of the hilltop castle. Starting just beside the little Lake Bled’s beach at Zaka, just opposite the boat rental house, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the top.
