Bled Days

Every penultimate Saturday in July, Lake Bled traditionally glows with the light of candles. Volunteers in boats place 10,000 candles in eggshells on the lake's surface, a tradition maintained for over 50 years by local resident Andrej Vidic. He prepares the candles over several months, while the eggshells are carefully separated by the pastry chefs of the company Conditus during the preparation of their delicious cream cakes.
