Straza is a 634-metre hill above the beautiful Lake Bled. A chairlift takes visitors to its peak (€4 for adults, €2 for children 6–14 y.o.), from where stunning views of the lake, the castle and the surrounding mountains of the Slovenian Alps unfold. The beautiful forest on top of Straza hill is also the setting of the Bled Adventure Park, which offers visitors the chance to enjoy a range of adrenaline-pumping activities. For an additional rush of adrenaline, the summer sledding track takes guests back to the valley. The Bled Adventure Park operates from April to October, while the Straza Hill becomes a ski slope when the snow descends in winter.
