Ojstrica

Ojstrica is one of Bled’s most beloved viewpoints, offering visitors a short but rewarding hike to some of the most iconic vistas in Slovenia. Rising to 611 meters above Lake Bled, the name “Ojstrica” means “sharp peak,” and its pointed summit delivers on the promise of breathtaking panoramas. The trailhead begins at the Zaka Campsite, where a well-marked path leads you through tranquil forest. The ascent takes about 20 minutes and, while steep in places, is manageable for most hikers.

At the top, a rustic bench awaits, perfectly positioned for you to soak in the romantic scenery. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping views over the emerald lake, the famous island church, Bled Castle perched on its cliff, and the distant peaks of the Karavanke and Stol mountains. Ojstrica is especially popular at sunrise and sunset, when the changing light transforms the landscape into a photographer’s dream.

There are no admission fees or set opening hours, making Ojstrica accessible year-round. The viewpoint can get busy during mid-morning, so early risers or late afternoon visitors often find a quieter experience. Nearby attractions include the Sava Dolinka River and Spa Park, offering more opportunities for relaxation and outdoor adventure.

For anyone visiting Bled, the hike to Ojstrica is a must—combining a touch of adventure with unforgettable views of Slovenia’s alpine jewel.
