From the Plitvice Lakes National Park to Lake Bled in north-west Slovenia in about four hours — north through Croatia to the Slovenian border, along the A2 past Novo Mesto and around Ljubljana, in a private car from the park entrance or your accommodation to your hotel in Bled.
Drive from Plitvice Lakes to Lake Bled in about 4h. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us where to collect you (Entrance 1, Entrance 2 or your accommodation), your address in Bled and any stop you would like on the way.
Pickup at Entrance 1 or Entrance 2 of the national park, about 3 km apart, or at your accommodation near the park — send its name and address with your request. The road then heads north-west on the D42 to the A1 motorway.
Taking the D1 through Slunj instead of the D42 passes the watermill village of Rastoke and Karlovac. It adds about 7 minutes of driving, plus the time you spend there.
The only border on this route, and a Schengen-internal one. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card at hand and allow some flexibility in journey time.
The A2 runs past Novo Mesto and around the Slovenian capital on its bypass. Lunch in the centre of Ljubljana costs about 12 minutes of extra driving.
A town just off the A2 shortly before Bled — a last stop before the lake.
Off the motorway into Bled, the town at the east end of the lake, for a drop-off at your hotel, guesthouse or apartment. For lakeside hotels and villas, send the exact address with your request.

Ljubljana Airport (LJU) is about 35 km from Bled, around 30 minutes by car. If you are flying out on the day you leave Plitvice, we can drop you at the airport instead of in Bled — mention it in your request with your flight time.
Going the other way? Lake Bled to Plitvice Lakes runs from Bled down to the Croatian national park.
Lake Bled → Plitvice Lakes →Plitvice Lakes to Lake Bled is about 282 km, from the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Croatia, to the town of Bled in north-west Slovenia. The road leaves the park on the D42 to the A1 motorway, continues on Croatian main roads to the Slovenian border, then follows the A2 past Novo Mesto, around Ljubljana and north to Bled. Allow about four hours of driving without stops.
There is no direct bus or train from Plitvice to Lake Bled; public transport needs a change in Zagreb, so check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer goes from the park or your accommodation straight to your hotel in Bled, without carrying luggage between stations, and can stop in Ljubljana or Rastoke on the way.
Croatia and Slovenia are both in the Schengen area, so this is an internal border, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur when you cross. Every passenger should carry a valid passport or national ID card and keep it within reach; allow some flexibility in journey time.
The national park has two entrances about 3 km apart. Tell us whether to collect you at Entrance 1, Entrance 2 or your accommodation, with its name and address. Address pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting. In Bled we drive to your hotel, guesthouse or apartment; for places on the lake shore, send the exact address.
