Bled je naselje ob Blejskem jezeru, sodi med starej?e in najlep?e turisti?ne kraje v Sloveniji. Le?i na nadmorski vi?ini 504 mnm, sredi razgibane, ledeni?ko preoblikovane pokrajine, na prehodu iz Radovlji?ke kotline v vzhodno vzno?je Julijskih Alp. Mestno naselje je nastalo leta 1960 z zdru?itvijo naselij Grad, Mlino, Re?ica, Zagorica in ele?e, ki so razporejena okoli jezera, lo?uje pa jih vrsta samostojnih vzpetin (Grad 599 mnm, Kozarca 558 mnm, Osojnica 756 mnm in Ravnica 729 mnm). Jezero, ki je dolgo 2,12 km in ?iroko od pol do 1 km, ima poleti prijetno ogreto vodo, primerno za kopanje, ki se na povr?ini segreje do 25??C in ohrani primerno temperaturo (do 18??C) vse do jeseni. V bolj mrzlih zimah jezero zamrzne. Ob blejskem geolo?kem prelomu je blizu jezera termalni vrelec (23??C), zajet v pokritih bazenih dveh hotelov. A settlement area since Mesolithic times, Bled Castle was first mentioned as Ueldes (Veldes) within the March of Carniola on April 10, 1004, when it was awarded by Emperor Henry II to Bishop Albuin I of Brixen. With Carniola it was ceded to Rudolph of Habsburg after he defeated King Ottokar II of Bohemia at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278. From 1364 on Bled was part of the Duchy of Carniola and of the Napoleonic Illyrian Provinces between 1809 and 1816. After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918 it belonged to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and became a summer domicile of the ruling House of Kara??or??evi??, a tradition that President Josip Broz Tito continued, when he built his residence here in 1947. Bled became an independent municipality in 1996. In 2000, Bled became the home of IEDC-Bled School of Management.
