    Fish ladder that was built as part of the construction of the Bleistätter Moor. The Tiebel river was also dredged from here to the state road further west. Originally there was a 1.5m high concrete sill over which the water tumbled down. On the east side of the fish ladder you can still see the remains of it, the old threshold was only partially removed and is integrated into the new fish ladder. There is also a level measuring station from the province of Carinthia, the facilities for this are housed in a small wooden hut on the east side of the fish ladder. For the construction of the fish ladder, a bypass channel was dug in the field behind, of which of course nothing is visible anymore. The staircase consists of several tiered pools made of natural stone, where the differences in height are designed in such a way that fish can swim or jump to overcome this difference in height and thus migrate between the higher and the lower part of the river. In the pools there are also areas with a low flow rate, where the fish can rest after the individual jumps. After the fish ladder downstream you can see 3 bright bands. These are concrete strips that are intended to keep the sole of the foot stable in terms of height and at least greatly reduce washouts (scour). The whole thing has been very sensitively embedded in the river and the surrounding landscape, now it has become a beautiful place to stay and observe nature.

    Vintgar Gorge Entry fee. Ridiculously beautiful walk along the river showing nature at her best with running water, waterfalls, moss, a variety of flowers and clean fresh air. The walk is fairly easy and not far. Worth noting however that it is a one way trip and that you are either going to do a 45 minute moderate walk back (which is also gorgeous as the path we took had views of the city Bled and fields of cows) or you are going to pay for a taxi. Best come prepared for a longer hike.

    For a suburb shot of Bled island, castle and the mountains at the back, climb up a small hill named Ojstrica (it takes around 20 minutes). If you enjoy taking photos of sunrises, get there early and enjoy the view of spectacular colours reflecting in the water.

    99 Steps Stone Stairway if you rent a row boat the mooring is around the back of the island (opposite side of main steps). You can use a drone here and it’s a great place to feed to the ducks so don’t forget the stale bread. Wonderful coffee and gelato shop and plenty of spots to sit.
