The view from the church is something you cant loose if you are in the area. Just take the boat and go there. The trip is only 15 mins and the view from there is amazing. Dont forget to ring the bell...

This is the church on the island on lake Bled. Very interesting, it is part museum and is used for weddings. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful church on the only island on Lake Bled. A short row from the Lakeside. Pity that a charge is made to enter a place of worship I always think......

What an enjoyable experience to catch a Pletna boat over to the island in the middle of gorgeous Lake Bled to see the Church of Assumption.Seen from afar,this church is an impressive sight on the island. There are quite a few steps to walk up to the church and you have to pay to go in. It is a beautiful... More

The church is stunning and peaceful. It is fun to ring the bell. We got married in this church and the service was beautiful.

The little church on Bled island is beautiful. It is a wonderful place for a wedding ceremony. I don't envy those grooms trying to carry their brides up those very steep stairs. I had enough trouble lifting myself up. Whew!!!

The Church of the Assumtion is a modern edifice but could easily be centuries old. The wall are covered with murals of the stations of the cross: the artist also created the murals depicting the history of modern yugoslavia in Vila Bled. The altar is a blinding sculpture in gold. There are many fascinating parts of this church and is... More

The church has a picturesk setting and does not disappoint on the inside. Attended Sunday Mass where the Organ nearly blasted you out, and the children clebrated their school year end in such a lively, joyous and unbridled way.

We were very glad that we had the opportunity to go to the island and visit the church. As it was Sunday, we should have paid more attention to the times for mass and the location of the wishing bell. We got there right before mass started and didn't realize that the bell was located up near the altar. We... More
