Travel
Lake Bled is a beautiful vacation resort in the midst of the Julian Alps in the north of Slovenia approximately 20 kilometers South and 40 kilometers East of the borders with Austria and Italy, respectively. If you are flying, Lake Bled is only 30 kilometers North of the Ljubljana international airport Brniki. Please let us know about your flight number and arrival time so that we can pick you up at the airport. If you are coming by train that does not stop in Bled, you should exit in Radovljica, Kranj or Ljubljana. There is a regular daytime bus service to Bled at approximately half hour intervals from any of these places. In case of emergency you may use the following phone numbers: (3861)-211-694 (T. Pisanski, up to June 24, 5pm), (3864)-77-316, fax: (3864)-77-267 (Hotel Jelovica after that).
Climate
The average daily temperatures at Lake Bled in late June are about 21C (70F). The temperatures in the mountains, of course, tend to be a few degrees cooler. We suggest you have along a sweater if you wish to join the excursion. Chances for rain are small but not negligible.
Note
You have probably heard about occassional unrests in the southern part of Yugoslavia. So far the situation in Slovenia is absolutely normal and we do not expect any problems in the future.
