The Castle of Bled / Die Burg von Bled (Slovenia)

in #photography5 years ago

A few days ago I made a little trip with my wife to Slovenia to Lake Bled, where we also visited Bled Castle.

Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mit meiner Frau einen kleinen Ausflug nach Slowenien an den Bleder See gemacht, wo wir auch die Burg von Bled besucht haben.

After we parked the car on one of the paid parking lots near the center of Bled, we walked along the lake promenade about 10 minutes to the parish Church of St. Martin in Bled.

Nachdem wir das Auto auf einem der gebührenpflichtigen Parkplätze in Zentrumsnähe von Bled abgestellt hatten, sind wir entlang der Seepromenade etwa 10 Minuten bis zur Pfarrkirche St. Martin in Bled spaziert.

At this church, there was the beginning of our walk to the castle, which led uphill through the forest on a nice constructed path.

An dieser Kirche war der Beginn unseres Fußweges zur Burg, welcher auf einem schön ausgebauten Weg bergauf durch den Wald führte.

There are several ways to the castle, but we found this one first. The walking time was stated as 20 minutes, but already after about 15 minutes we reached the castle quite sweaty.

Es gibt mehrere Wege zur Burg, aber diesen hatten wir zuerst gefunden. Die Gehzeit war zwar mit 20 Minuten angegeben, aber bereits nach etwa 15 Minuten haben wir die Burg ziemlich verschwitzt erreicht.

Although it was not even 10 o'clock, we had to line up to buy tickets. The entrance fee of 11.00 Euros per adult includes a voucher of 1.50 Euros to use at the terrace cafe or at the castle apiary (shop with honey products). Unfortunately, we only noticed that at home.

Obwohl es noch nicht einmal 10 Uhr gewesen ist, mussten wir uns schon in der Schlange anstellen, um Karten kaufen zu können. Im Eintrittspreis von EUR 11,00 pro Erwachsenem ist ein Gutschein über EUR 1,50 für das Terrassencafe und für das Burgbienenhaus (Shop mit Honigprodukten) inkludiert. Das haben wir aber leider erst zu Hause bemerkt.

The castle of Bled is one of the oldest castles in Slovenia. It was first mentioned in writing in 1011.

Die Burg von Bled ist eine der ältesten Burgen in Slowenien. Im Jahre 1011 wurde sie zum ersten Mal schriftlich erwähnt.

From the terrace you can overlook the entire area. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit hazy during our visit, so the view was not optimal.

Von der Aussichtsterrasse kann man die gesamte Gegend überblicken. Leider war das Wetter bei unserem Besuch etwas diesig, so dass der Fernblick nicht optimal gewesen ist.

There are two courtyards on two levels. In the lower courtyard there are, among others, the castle café with panoramic terrace, the castle printing works, the tower gallery and the castle apiary.

Es gibt zwei Innenhöfe auf zwei Ebenen. Im unteren Burghof befinden sich unter anderem das Burgcafé mit Aussichtsterrasse, die Burgdruckerei, die Turmgalerie und das Burgbienenhaus.

Although there are tons of people at the castle, it is definitely worth a visit - just the wonderful view from the castle makes you forget all the people around ;) ... or you visit the castle in one of the colder seasons.

Obwohl auf der Burg massenhaft Menschen sind, ist sie in jedem Fall einen Besuch wert - alleine die wunderbare Aussicht von der Burg lässt einen die Menschen rundherum vergessen ;) ... oder man besucht die Burg in einer der kälteren Jahreszeiten.

Sieht echt schön aus. Slowenien fehlt mir noch

Ich danke dir, Slowenien ist wunderschön und du kannst so viel auf relativ kleinem Raum machen und sehen. Wenn ich auch noch die Sprache könnte, dann wäre es optimal ;)

Wow great job sir johannpiber, I love that castle and it's location with the views! Did you guys go inside? I'd go in the winter time even though the winds would be severely cold up there!

I knew, you would like it, @janton ... thank you 😊

Yes, we have been inside, but as always I had no flash with me, and there were also too many people around for taking photos - too many for me ;) The chapel would have been interesting, but it is small inside, and there have always been some people inside, blocking my view.

This is the only photo one I could get, but it is too unsharp to post it - can you guess what it is?

lol! the only room with no one in it was the bathroom! lol. Good job sir johannpiber!

... but it's true - nobody was there :)
I wanted to look into the hole, but there was a rope as barrier ;)

That was a very interesting picture though, I didn't know if they would have indoor bathrooms but I guess so, I guess over the centuries they got some more modern plumbing in although still primitive.

This is a small addition to the castle (an additional small room, somehow hanging on the wall outside), and below it is air - all falls along the castle wall on the castle hill 😉 lol

No way! really? that's disgusting. lol.

This is good fertilizer and the attackers slipped on it and fell back down the hill ;) lol
