Bled's Superb Golf Course

An excellent par 73 course with a superb club house sits just outside Bled. Try not to be put off your swing by the beautiful snow capped Alps lazing in the back ground, but if you are, you can always head back to the driving range or hire a PGA Pro to help you regain your focus. Green fees plus club hire for 18 holes start from just €74 and the wonderful facilities, great course and superb scenery ensure you'll have a great round even if you're well over par.

To enjoy this great golf location, stay with us at The Farmhouse. We can arrange everything for you, including transport.

Horse Riding

For riding enthusiasts and trivia fiends, Slovenia's biggest claim to fame in the equine world is that it has the original breeding ground for Lipizzaner horses. These short, pale horses, bred over many centuries from a combination of Arabian, Andalusion, Spanish and local working horses, are the same as those which train and perform at the renowned Spanish riding school in Vienna, their famously strong hind legs allowing them to perform dressage in a way that no other horse can.

There are stables near both the Retreat and the Farmhouse which offer lessons or trail riding on pure-bred Lipizzaners for riders of all levels. We are happy to organise days there for you either when you book or when you arrive. The really keen riders may want to think about a day trip to the Lipica stud farm to watch a performance and get lessons from the masters themselves. If you are a horse lover, this really should be in bold at the top of your list of things to do.

Prices for riding near the Farmhouse start at just £35 for two hours. Click here to visit the Lipica Stud Farm's website.
