Geographical facts
Here you can find some geographical facts about the location (Bled
and Gorenjska region) of the PROLEARN Summer School.
The Bled Castle, a silent witness to its former power, resolute and proud on a high rock above the lake, stands watch over the town. The Bled lake is known for its exceptional beauty. The forested slopes of Jelovica and Pokljuka, the Julian Alps with their highest peak Triglav - the symbol of the Slovenian nation - and the Karavanke Mountains, serve as the background to this heavenly spot.
In the middle of the lake lies the island with the Church of Assumption. The island and the church have a rich history. Inside the church there is the wishing bell from 1534. In addition to all these features, Bled and its surroundings provide a number of other interesting sights that are worth a visit.
