Rikli Memorial Hike

In the mid-19th century, the Swiss healer Arnold Rikli turned Bled into a European health resort: he treated his guests with sun baths, fresh alpine air, walking and lake water — decades before “wellness” became a buzzword. The July Rikli Memorial Hike revives his legacy with a guided walk along the trails where Rikli once led his patients.

The hike suits a wide range of visitors and delivers exactly what made Rikli choose Bled: lake views, forest air and the sense that walking in this landscape genuinely heals. If viewpoints are your thing, don’t miss the climb to Ojstrica and Mala Osojnica — the most beautiful view of Bled.
