Lake Bled, Slovenia

At the top of Bled Island is the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary.  The bell tower, which was built in the 15th century, has been renovated several times due to damage by two earthquakes.  The present tower is more than 150 feet high and has three bells.   Of special interest is the "wishing bell" manufactured in Padova in 1534.  Tourists ringing this bell (for a fee, of course) are said to be granted their wish.
