Bled, to me, shares something deeper than happiness, it shares joy. Where happiness often depends on reasons, joy simply exists. It’s a feeling from within. There’s so much to do in Bled, yet also space to do nothing at all.

I tried the 4km-long zipline, the longest in Europe, where we crossed the river six times on seven thrilling ziplines. Flying past treetops, I imagined myself in a Twilight scene, like Edward and Bella soaring through the forest. Absolutely unforgettable! I also hiked to higher point for the iconic Bled island and enjoyed a peaceful walk around the lake, feeling fully connected to every step.

The following day, I visited Lake Bohinj, in Triglav National Park. I spent a few quiet hours walking along side of the lake and chatting with locals. I was walking alone, yet I didn’t feel alone, I felt accompanied by my soul contented in my body. A true lifetime memory.
