Top destination around Bled Town - Bled
According to an old take, the castle owner’s widow ordered to make a bell to honor her deceased husband killed by bandits. However, a storm destroyed the boat that was transferring the ready bell to the chapel on the island. The memorable bell sank in the lake. After that, the widow went to Rome and told her sad story. The Pope heard it and ordered to make a new bell that was later sent to the island mentioned above. The story about the first bell is still alive, and some locals say that it is sometimes possible to hear that bell deep in the lake’s water.
This amazing, marvelous place has one good tradition that local people always follow during wedding ceremonies. There is a tall staircase with almost a hundred steps that starts at the lake. The groom must go up the staircase while holding his bride to show that he is ready to get married and make a family.
