LAKESIDE PROMENADE - BENEATH THE CASTLE - VELIKA ZAKA - MLINO - LAKESIDE PROMENADE
The path around the lake is usually started at the lake’s eastern shore at the Lakeside Promenade beneath the Congress Hall or at the nearby Zdraviliški Park beneath Hotel Jelovica or the parish church of St Martin. You walk counter clockwise all the time. The path takes you near the lake to the Public Lido. From here take the road in the pedestrian area which leads via the northern side of the lake beneath rock on which the castle stands to the Olympic Rowing Centre in Mala Zaka. Continue on the road to Velika Zaka – the finish line for the well-known Bled rowing route. From here take the designated visitors’ path on the boardwalk above the water level and beneath Vila Bled to reach the village of Mlino. The last third of the path around the lake takes you on the southern side of the lake and there is a designated path for visitors between the road and the lake. If you take this road, you will end up at the Lakeside Promenade in the town centre.
