Blejsko (there are also names Bled, Blejskoe, Bledskoe; Slovenian. Blejsko jezero) – a lake in the Slovenian region of Krajna, near which the resort town of Bled is located, as well as the Pokljuka mountain plateau. The lake is located at an altitude of 475 m above sea level. The Bled Castle is located above the lake on a steep rock.
High mountains do not allow cold air currents 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 Mariinsky Church and significant excavations from the early Middle Ages. The traditional wooden boats called “pletna” are offered to visit the island. Another important attraction is the Grimshche Castle.
Lake Blaysko is the site of major international rowing competitions. The lake hosted the World Rowing Championships (1966, 1979, 1989, 2011) and Europe (1956), as well as the World Cup (2010).
