About this audio guide
This guide to the Grand Hotel Toplice in Bled starts with the cool spring water feeding its pool, then follows Jula Vovk Molnar, the Slovenian hotelier who bought the old Louisenbad as the First World War ended. It moves through the interwar summers when a king and his diplomats came to the lake, and a hockey match staged on the ice out front. Best heard on the lakeside promenade, facing the hotel's facade.
