Lake Bled, glacial lake in the extreme northwestern region of Slovenia. Situated 1,558 feet (475 metres) above sea level at the foot of the Julian Alps northwest of Ljubljana, it is a summer health and holiday resort and a winter sports centre with good road and rail connections and summer air service. The mild subalpine climate affords a long summer season for bathing. Nearby is Triglav National Park and other mountains in the Julian Alps and Karavanke.

The town of Bled has historic landmarks. On a small island in the lake is the Church of the Assumption, on which a Slavic pagan shrine stood until the 11th century. Bled Castle stands atop a 460-foot cliff on the lakeshore.
