About Bled
Bled is one of Slovenia’s most breathtaking destinations, famous for its emerald lake with an island church, medieval castle perched on a cliff, and stunning views of the Julian Alps. Known as a place of inspiration and natural beauty, Bled offers a perfect balance of serenity and adventure. Visitors can stroll along the lake, enjoy traditional cream cake kremšnita, or take a boat ride to the island. It is easily accessible by road and only a 30-minute drive from Ljubljana International Airport.
Venue
You will be welcomed at the Hotel Rikli Balance, located in the center of Bled. The hotel is inspired by the legacy of Swiss healer Arnold Rikli, who brought the concept of natural healing to Bled in the 19th century. His philosophy of “sun, air and water” is reflected in the hotel’s design, wellness facilities, and connection to nature. The modern conference center offers spacious, well-equipped halls that make learning, discussions, and networking both comfortable and inspiring, all with breathtaking views of Lake Bled and the Julian Alps.
