Restaurant Kamin
The main attraction of Restaurant Kamin is the spectacular view from its terrace overlooking the entire Gulf of Trieste. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Grado in Italy on the opposite side of the bay, the town of Izola below, and, in the distance, Triglav and the Julian Alps. With a bit of luck, you may even catch a glimpse of the Dolomites. The fantastic scenery makes the excellent food taste even better.

Velika/Mala Osojnica
Velika (Great) and Mala (Little) Osojnica are two hills, or peaks, that rise on the western side of Lake Bled. These peaks offer some of the best views of the lake and are popular hiking destinations for visitors, photographers, drone operators, and influencers. There are two trails leading to the peaks, an easier trail with a moderate gradient, and a much steeper, more exposed scenic trail with beautiful views along the way. If you have to choose, Mala Osojnica offers the better view.

Mangart Saddle
The road to Mangart Saddle is the highest in Slovenia, reaching a peak altitude of 2,072 meters. It was built in 1938 by the Italian army under Mussolini, as this part of Slovenia belonged to Italy at the time. The ascent is narrow, with many hairpin bends, and the road is quite exposed, making it unsuitable for the faint-hearted. However, once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic natural scenery and breathtaking panoramic views.
