Wie die meisten meiner geneigten Lesern wissen, fürchteten meine Kollegen der "Instiution" den Einfluß, den ich als Daimyo der Provinzen des mittleren Westens Japans erlangte und verfrachteten mich auf den Posten hier, da sie glaubten, mich durch die geringere Entfernung besser unter Kontrolle zu haben. Wieder einmal haben sie sich getäuscht. Als neuer Herr über die Krain habe ich nicht nur neue Vertraute gefunden, sondern erfreue mich auch an anderen Vorzügen dieser Position. Wie beispielsweise meinem Wochenendsitz in Bled (Veldes).
Letztes Wochenende fuhr ich daher nach Bled, nahe der österreichischen Border in order to pay one of my best possessions a visit and a little hiking in the area.
Bled itself is very small and a tourist destination, but has also a well known specialty Kremna Rezina or more simply: Kremšnita (cream-sections), which I have tried the original recipe in the café of the hotel park. Then it was up to the Bled Castle, which sits on a promontory overlooking the lake.
The Castle in the model
On one side of the lake is a small island with a St. Mary's Church
From the castle I walked away then over the hills surrounding the lake, circled the lake or in part, at his side. Since, fortunately, in the afternoon the weather was a little better, it was all in all a nice trip, and I am glad that such a wonderful place is one of my dominion. Pure walking time: 8 hours
If a groom to give his bride all the steps up carry, it will be a truly happy marriage:
over the hills in the background, I am marching include:
interesting (and funny) facts / opinions about Slovenia:
Located near / in the Julian Alps and already in 1004 first mentioned as Ueldes (Bled) in the course of a gift, was the settlement with the castle (first built in the High Middle Ages) the Archdiocese of Brixen, for which Bled for centuries the most important possession was remote and only in the mid 19th century, the diocese sold the property to private individuals. By the mid-19th Century, Bled became known as an excellent place for summer and also as a spa, and especially the Swiss naturopath Arnold Rikli contributed to the opening of a hotel. The reputation of the city was as an air and spa resort so far that even the New York Times in the early 20th Century in an issue reported on it. The famed explorer Julius von Payer was also a regular guest in Bled and died also in this place.
went after the Great War Bled the way of the rest of Slovenia, with two special features were noteworthy for one was in the 2nd World War II in Bled, the Security Police and SD headquarters of Gorenjska established (KdS Velde), on the other hand, Tito took a villa in the village as an occasional residence (in the style of the old Yugoslav. Royal family). Today
draw particular the lake with its swimming and sports, and hiking trails in the surrounding hills and of course the Spa facilities to tourists.
