Blejskij (also known as Bled, Blejskij, Bledskii; Slovene. Blejsko jezero) is a lake in the Slovenian region of Krajna, which is home to the resort town of Bled and the Pokljuka mountain plateau. The lake is located at an altitude of 475 m above sea level. Bled Castle is located on a steep rock above the lake.

High mountains do not allow cold air flows and create a special microclimate in the valley. In July and August, the lake warms up to 25 ° C. In the middle of the lake there is a small island (Blejski otok) with the famous St. Mary’s Church and significant excavations from the early Middle Ages. To visit the island, traditional wooden boats called “tynom” are offered. Another important attraction is the Hrymshche Castle.

Lake Blayskyi is the venue for major international academic rowing competitions. The world championships in academic rowing (1966, 1979, 1989, 2011) and European (1956), as well as the stage of the World Cup (2010) were held on the lake.
