Bled, giving the environment almost a hairy character.

BLED ISLAND It's covered with greenery and there are a
few buildings. A church tower is rising from them and it
seems like a little town floating in the middle of the lake.

Then they ascend the 99 stone steps and eventually ring the church's bell, which is believed to fulfill even the most unattainable wishes.

Human traces from prehistory have been found on the island. Before the church was built, there was a temple consecrated to Živa, the Slavic goddess of love and fertility.
