The first paddle stroke breaks the glassy calm of the Sava as it slips away from Lake Bled, and you feel the river begin to take charge — playful eddies teasing the raft, currents nudging you toward riffles that rise and fall like breath. Mountain slopes of the Julian Alps flank the corridor, limestone bluffs and mixed spruce-beech forest giving way to open meadows beyond the village.
