Mesmerizing Lake Bled
On our way back from the city of Ljubljana, we stopped by the very picturesque Lake Bled early in the morning.
We were lucky as our group were the only ones in the popular tourist spot, allowing us to enjoy more of the beautiful natural scenery before more tourists arrive in the area.
After taking a thousand photos around the wonderful crystal clear lake, we sampled the bled cream cake and some hot chocolate (perfect for this autumn weather) from a cozy restaurant fronting the lake
—- allowing us to relax and enjoy our delicious fare while admiring such a magnificent view 😊🍂

This is the restaurant that every tourist is seeking out when traveling back to Slovenia. You'll find classic Slovenian staples here, very filling, heart-warming, good. I'd go so far as to say comfort food! Our meal here was well-deserved after climbing the stairs up and down from Bled Castle. The decor is classic gostilna style. We felt like we had a very authentic gostilna meal here. As you'll read in the menu, they make it a priority to locally source all of their ingredients. We went to Gostilna Murka and the menu offers a few different selections where you'll find "platter-style" entrees, so if you are looking to try a little bit of everything, I'd suggest these. We ourselves got the classic squid and potato, and creamy pasta, plus they gave you some sides to eat it with. We closed our big meals with a parfait-style dessert which was heavenly good!

Dragon Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
🇸🇮Landmark of Slovenia : Dragon Bridge🐉
Attraction: Dragon Bridge
Location: Resljeva cesta 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia
Direction: 10 minutes walk from City Center
This is a significant bridge in Slovenia, located in Ljubljana , the capital city. This 33.3 meters long bridge was built in the beginning of the 20th century, when Ljubljana was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Dragon bridge was also one of Europe's earliest reinforced concrete bridges and the first such bridge in Ljubljana. It was the first bridge in Slovenia to be paved with asphalt. This is a place where many tourist will come and take pictures with.📸

#ljubljanariver is beautiful with architecturally interesting bridges and scenic scenery. Its river, the Ljubljanica, is believed to have been first spanned by a bridge in the Roman period #slovenia

#happynewyear
We visited Ljubljana in September and found it to be one of the loveliest old towns in Europe. Loved Ljubljana! Beautiful area!
Does this look familiar? The image of a Western dragon in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Most of the countries in the Balkan region are predominantly Catholic. Staying at the Intercontinental, the Intercontinental Hotel in Ljubljana is very close to the bridges, Dragon Bridge, Triple Bridge, and you can even see the scenery from the balcony. The city is not big, and it's very suitable for walking around and sightseeing.
✅Must experience:
The magnificent Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana, the capital of the Republic of Slovenia, with its pink facade, attracts many devout believers and feels like a place of compassion.
But not far from here, on the large bronze doors of another church, are carved the portraits of several former archbishops, each looking sinister and cunning, giving a chilling feeling.
❤Recommended reason:
On the railings of the bridge over the Ljubljanica River, there are four dragons guarding peace, clearly the prototypes referenced in American blockbusters. Here, he is the guardian dragon of peace. This is in stark contrast to the evil dragons of Croatia.
🧳Pre-trip preparation:
Between the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge, there is a Lover's Bridge completed in 2010, covered with colorful locks of couples, attracting the interest of children. But the bronze sculptures of artists on the bridge seem to roar: Don't play these fake tricks, to deceive others as well as yourself.
The most memorable thing here should actually be the great 19th-century poet France Prešeren.
His verse: 'Where the sunlight shines, there is no more war, all are free brethren.' has become the goal of all who love peace around the world. Another toast poem has become the national anthem, I wonder if it also comes from his collection of poems? But it is widely known, its simplicity, sincerity, and plainness speak to people's hearts, let's share it here as well:
👍Most recommended:
May God bless all nations,
Work tirelessly for better days.
Then in the world's dwellings,
There will be no more wars and conflicts to torment.
Cherish the peace in your eyes,
Everyone enjoys freedom and happiness.
No enemies,
Only good neighboring countries.
Everyone enjoys freedom and happiness,
No enemies,

Bled Castle
#familytrips2024
The family trip to Bled Castle was like stepping into a fairy tale. Perched high above the azure waters of Lake Bled, the castle commanded a breathtaking view of the surrounding Slovenian countryside. We wandered through its ancient walls, tracing the centuries of history etched into every stone. Inside, we marveled at the medieval artifacts and intricate craftsmanship, transported back in time to a world of knights and nobility. Climbing to the top of the tower, we were rewarded with panoramic views of the serene lake and lush greenery below, a scene straight out of a storybook.
As we reminisce about our magical time at Bled Castle, our next dream destination to travel with family is the enchanting city of Prague, Czech Republic. With its fairytale-like architecture, charming cobbled streets, and rich cultural heritage, Prague promises to captivate our imaginations and create unforgettable moments together as a family. We look forward to exploring its historic landmarks, indulging in delicious Czech cuisine, and immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this timeless European gem.

😂I It takes about half an hour to walk up and down the viewing platform, it's very worth it!!! The scenery is super beautiful!!! Try not to wear high heels and skirts to climb

Predjama Castle 🏰
#timetotravel
Predjama Castle in Slovenia is a mesmerizing blend of history and nature, and my visit left an indelible mark. Carved into the mouth of a cavern, this castle is a marvel of medieval architecture and ingenuity.
Exploring its labyrinthine chambers and passages was like stepping into a fairy tale. The castle's strategic location and its dramatic history, including tales of the defiant knight Erasmus, make it an intriguing destination.
The highlight of my visit was the breathtaking view from the castle's windows, which overlook the picturesque valley and the surrounding forests. It's a view that feels straight out of a storybook.
Predjama Castle is not only a testament to human creativity but also a testament to nature's beauty. The adjacent Postojna Cave adds to the enchantment, creating a unique and unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Slovenia.#slovenia #predjama #postojna

The family excursion to Postojna Cave was an awe-inspiring adventure into the heart of the earth's mysteries. Descending into the depths of this ancient limestone wonder, we were enveloped by a surreal world of towering stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated by the soft glow of underground streams. Boarding the cave train, we journeyed deeper into the labyrinthine passages, marveling at the intricate formations that seemed to defy imagination. Along the way, we encountered unique cave-dwelling creatures, from delicate blind salamanders to ghostly cave crickets, adding to the sense of wonder and discovery. Emerging back into daylight, we were left spellbound by the beauty and grandeur of nature's hidden masterpiece.
As we fondly recall our incredible experience at Postojna Cave, our next dream destination to explore with family is the enchanting landscapes of New Zealand's South Island. We envision traversing rugged coastlines, trekking through lush rainforests, and marveling at the surreal beauty of Fiordland's towering peaks and pristine lakes. From encountering native wildlife to soaking in natural hot springs, New Zealand promises to offer endless opportunities for adventure and discovery, creating unforgettable memories for our family to cherish for years to come.

This cave is enormous! We took a mini “train ride” at the beginning inside the cave, then walked around with the audio guide, then hopped back in the train. Time in the cave is amazing.
