About this audio guide
This guide to the Castle Bathing Area on Lake Bled follows a Slovenian government biologist who, in two thousand ten, set out to work out why the lake's water was turning murky again. It weighs the swimmers on the decking beside you against the ducks, the carp anglers and their bait, and asks who is really feeding the lake. Best heard on the wooden jetty, looking out past the pools to the open water.
