Bowling City Lesce

Lesce is a small town on the plain below Bled, in the Upper Sava valley, and Bowling City is one of the places where local people go for an evening out. It is a modern bowling alley, with several lanes, a bar and a relaxed, informal atmosphere that mixes sport with music and socialising. Bowling is a simple game that everyone can play, whatever their age or ability, and an alley like this is a popular choice for families, groups of friends and colleagues, as well as for birthday parties and other celebrations. For visitors, it offers an easy and sociable way to fill an evening or a rainy afternoon in an area where most attractions are outdoors.

The lanes are equipped in the usual way, with shoes available to rent, balls of different weights and automatic scoring, so that the game is easy to follow even for beginners. Children can often play with the help of bumpers that keep the ball out of the gutters, and staff are usually happy to explain the rules. The music and the lighting give the place a lively feel, in the style of a disco, and the bar serves drinks and snacks, so the visit can be as long or as short as the group likes. Because the number of lanes is limited, it is wise to book ahead, especially in the evening and at weekends, when local groups often fill the alley.

Bowling City is a useful option when the weather turns bad, which can happen quickly in the Alps. A day of rain around Bled and Bohinj can make outdoor plans difficult, and an indoor activity within a short drive can save the day. The alley is also suitable for visitors with limited mobility, as it requires no walking or climbing, and for groups with a range of ages. Opening hours, prices and booking arrangements change, so it is best to check by phone or online before going.

Lesce has a few other points of interest that can be combined with an evening of bowling. The Gorenjka chocolate factory, the Church of the Assumption of Mary, Legatova hiša and Španova hiša are small sights in the town, the Beekeeping Education Centre of Gorenjska introduces the local beekeeping tradition, and the Lesce Alpine Sports Airfield is a base for gliding and parachuting. The Šobec Campsite lies on the Sava river nearby. Bled, with its lake, castle and cafes, is only a few minutes away by car.
