We first stopped to take a boat to Bled island (fees excluded but well worth it) for 1h, and then a drive to the castle, for another 1h (fees excluded too) for extraordinary views, visit and their cream cake. We were a small group of 3no. on a quiet Sunday of mid-November. Being Sunday, traffic was very light all journey. Recommended.”
