Slovenian Museum of Natural History
The Natural History Museum is located on the upper floor of the National Museum. It is certainly not a must-see and costs extra admission, I finished viewing it relatively quickly.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9ee915dc79.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a20c68bea3.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9fb6033139.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3f8ece3126.jpg |
Tomb of National Heroes Ljubljana
The Tomb of National Heroes is located in the square in front of the National Museum. As I understand it, these are actually the graves of various people who were considered national heroes. Some of them were rather controversial figures who were involved in dubious activities.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7bddc6dfaf.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...83b209be23.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...48069ef6f8.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e2ce9f872b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bc1d79a021.jpg |
Republic Square Ljubljana
Right nearby is Republic Square. It is not particularly attractive from today's perspective, with its monuments, high-rise buildings, a department store, the main event hall and, on the other side of the street, the Parliament.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6196588663.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...86b03692fc.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a984d32eb5.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f9b8ffc57a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...25aa316895.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cd08aa9aeb.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5579ffae10.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9d80b37fff.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8670161b8c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0f2447fbc8.jpg |
Vigo Ljubljana
There is also ice cream in Ljubljana. Vigo was particularly praised by Gault Millau.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...67643b9a67.jpg The ice cream machines in the window were particularly highlighted, and indeed they looked promising. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cc85aa1223.jpg Very interesting flavors. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...07d7d2f5a4.jpg The ice cream was good too. Not top-notch, but definitely above average. That's quite acceptable. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4db4b7af53.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fcc2a24439.jpg |
Fetiche Patisserie Ljubljana
On the way (or rather detour), I stopped by Fetiche again to try the ice cream.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5cb42734de.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b7c24df6d2.jpg It was good, but nothing more. For a top-quality ice cream, it lacked a little creaminess. |
Bled Castle
In the morning, we headed to Bled. We started at the castle.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...139687a8d1.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...62b21b60af.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...268354395f.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...58e3b88e95.jpg The castle has been rebuilt and serves as a historical landmark from the outside. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ed2034d34e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0e3d63cdd0.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4216fe1f32.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b06783cf7e.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5c006f8cc6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...970584dbc7.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...274357d8d5.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...67521d7c48.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...68914b7859.jpg The chapel https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a2c501ec7f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bf18062ad6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6f7b619764.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a6da17c0fb.jpg The small museum https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eab0468d58.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...481eb109db.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4130ada8e3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fe879c86f0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5d0d140235.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9e71551f81.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c7b44741b1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ab3cdc155d.jpg The view from the battlement https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...643748942c.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c42d8ea09d.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...903ca6c245.jpg But the real highlight is the view of Lake Bled. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...40148c2efb.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e7125c93a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fd70dcd356.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...60167d4e03.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b28a8fd03f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...29b649beac.jpg Yes, I know that customs differ. But throwing the whole roll of paper into the toilet? OK, if that's the norm..... https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...214d56672c.jpg |
Is the castle in Bled? You are inspiring me for our own upcoming trip.

Lake Bled
At Lake Bled, the first thing we had to do was buy a parking space. At least, that's how expensive it felt. Then we headed for the shore.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3aaad5412b.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...95e7591bd2.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...46988d69d0.jpg The rowing boat was supposed to take us to Beleder Island in the lake. After some time, we finally set off, and it felt like an eternity. At least we could enjoy a few views along the way. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dbc77e3e46.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...54000dda71.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ff9d33692b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4d35ad7147.jpg Wooden boats are the traditional way to reach the island. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...43e3afec02.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6034014ebe.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9d61d1b9d2.jpg There are a few steps from the jetty to the plateau. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9f6673135c.jpg On a tour around the island, you can look out onto the lake from the inside. However, you can also see the service lift and the buildings from below. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d1402ec458.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5d5b8bb1d3.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c76fef4b04.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ff3c8884b2.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...200b2248b2.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fa2f12b2f4.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e29c8fc65e.jpg |

Lake Bled
Once you reach the top, you find yourself standing in front of the church tower. There is also a restaurant, and souvenirs and the best industrial ice cream are sold there. The queue was huge. Cheap stuff sold at high prices – that makes hearts rejoice.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...14dcb0d42a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3d7c796699.jpg The trip on the Pletna boat only cost €18, so you're happy to pay again for the church, the tower and the museum. Even the toilet is one time free. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b68d16f477.jpg First to church. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5b913dd4a8.jpg The church is dominated by the golden altar, alongside which there are murals. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3d10bff35e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9d04efee7c.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6f98e78a35.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8c62cb7995.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ba7fb891e0.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b1a20bc5d7.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...240acd4146.jpg But the highlight is the wishing bell, which you are allowed to ring. There is a queue and it rings all the time. My wish was for peace and quiet to return. But I didn't have to make any noise to get it. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ba92fd2b58.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...279223503a.jpg |
Lake Bled
Next, I went up the Campanile.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c3dd134e94.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bb5439e037.jpg Bible verses accompany you along the way, some of which are particularly comforting if you suffer from vertigo. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f28363f8c6.jpg Upstairs, they decided to put up a lot of railings. This doesn't really help the view. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4b4f22acdc.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...59c8bf5655.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...44eac64216.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f759d808a6.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...307ad9ad96.jpg The small museum https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...25cf2b4a08.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f088b9e493.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f0f0d250a2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dcd31387ad.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f128cfd5e8.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ec4e9f4faa.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dfc23c19d1.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cd52915f4b.jpg |
Lake Bled
On the way back (the 30 minutes felt like hours), there was at least something else to see.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d6d8024f9b.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2cc90e6572.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f6e2ee8c10.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9209f05b7c.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9beb241bba.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...11c9532947.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...02468234a2.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...366d0313e0.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9aa01a4c9f.jpg |
The National Shrine Mary Help of Christians Brezje
The Maria Hilf pilgrimage church is the most important pilgrimage church in Slovenia. Outside, there are large areas for open-air services and devotions.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dd94eaa7d9.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1ca3b2e2e5.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...550f89011f.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...420f4d453d.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f35f6af383.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...48b2f94308.jpg The interior of the church is decorated in pink, and the sacred image is located in a side chapel. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4d0e9e894f.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4570533fde.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9b03788b5f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7dc93fe783.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...934459e428.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...de3b390cb2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e25824ca55.jpg |
Breg Restaurant
In the evening, we went to Breg Restaurant, another Michelin Plate restaurant. It is a very traditional establishment. The décor is rather rustic.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f2f06bb7e2.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0326c07125.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5554bec0f2.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...225ca7d82f.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4a1462740d.jpg The menu: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7b5df3df53.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8019925e88.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2992493c2f.jpg Tuna crudo, watermelon https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...02e9a62057.jpg Pumpkin soup https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...62312c09bd.jpg Bread https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0a6c95b370.jpg Butter-poached red snapper https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8fa27de97e.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...41d3a4bfe8.jpg Linguine alla vongole https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8c40e50691.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...473a56e669.jpg Pavlova https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6a2474528f.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...496bd96fab.jpg Tiramisu https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5740ffbcfa.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fdd8e1ccc8.jpg The bill https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fbbb30b415.jpg It was a good meal at a reasonable price. Very nice. |
