Pletna Traditional Boat Lake Bled Slovenia
The Pletna boat is a wooden boat 7 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is operated by the Pletna oarsman, standing and rowing the boat with two oars. This type of vessel is an attraction of Lake Bled and according to the unverified date, its history is supposed to go back already to the 12th century, while the official beginnings date back to 1740.
The Pletna boat is a wooden flat-boat with a pointed bow and the stern widened with a step to enable passengers to enter. The boat is propelled with the special ‘’stehrudder’’ technique where the oarsman is standing and rowing with two oars.
Our ancestors took the name after the German word ‘’plateboat’’, meaning flat-bottom boat. The rights to ownership of the Pletna boat and the lake transport were granted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresia to the farms who complained about the loss of arable land. Most of them originate from Mlino village on the southeastern coast of Lake Bled. Today there are 23 Pletnas and boatmen work inside an association Pletna Bled.

Lake Bled (Slovene: Blejsko jezero; German: Bleder See, Veldeser See) is a lake in the Julian Alps of the Upper Carniolan region of northwestern Slovenia, where it adjoins the town of Bled. The area is a tourist destination. The lake is 35 km (22 mi) from Ljubljana International Airport and 55 km (34 mi) from the capital city, Ljubljana.
The lake is of mixed glacial and tectonic origin. It is 2,120 m (6,960 ft) long and 1,380 m (4,530 ft) wide, with a maximum depth of 29.5 m (97 ft), and it has a small island. The lake lies in a picturesque environment, surrounded by mountains and forests. Medieval Bled Castle stands above the lake on the north shore and has a museum.The Zaka Valley lies at the west end of the lake.
The World Rowing Championships in 1966, 1979, 1989, and 2011 were held at Lake Bled.
The lake surrounds Bled Island (Blejski otok). The island has several buildings, the main one being the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja), built in its current form near the end of the 17th century, and decorated with remains of Gothic frescos from around 1470 in the presbyterium and rich Baroque equipment.
The church has a 52 m (171 ft) tower and there is a Baroque stairway dating from 1655 with 99 stone steps leading up to the building. The church is frequently visited and weddings are held there regularly. Traditionally it is considered good luck for the groom to carry his bride up the steps on the day of their wedding before ringing the bell and making a wish inside the church.
The traditional transportation to Bled Island is a wooden boat known as a pletna The word pletna is a borrowing from Bavarian German Plätten 'flat-bottomed boat'. Some sources claim the pletna was used in Lake Bled as early as 1150 AD, but most historians date the first boats to 1590 AD. Similar in shape to Italian gondolas, a pletna seats 20 passengers. Modern boats are still made by hand and are recognizable by their colourful awnings. Pletna oarsman employ the stehrudder technique to propel and navigate boats across the lake using two oars. The role of the oarsman dates back to 1740, when Empress Maria Theresa granted 22 local families exclusive rights to ferry religious pilgrims across Lake Bled to worship on Bled Island. The profession is still restricted. Many modern oarsman descend directly from the original 22 families.
The area's culinary specialty, a cream pastry (kremna rezina or kremšnita 'Cremeschnitte'), was designated a protected dish of designated origin in 2016 by the Slovene government. Although various Slovene cream pastries date back to the Habsburg era,[the current official recipe was created in 1953 by Ištvan Lukačević, the former manager of the Hotel Park's patisserie. There is an annual festival dedicated to the pastry. It is estimated that 12 million cream pastries have been prepared at the Hotel Park’s patisserie over the last 60 years.

Pletna Bled Slovenija
Pletna je 7 metrov dolg in okoli 2 metra širok lesen čoln, ki ga pletnar stoje poganja z vesli. Ta vrsta plovila je zanimivost Blejskega jezera, njegova zgodovina pa naj bi po nepreverjenih podatkih segala že v 12. stoletje, uradni začetki pa segajo v leto 1740.
To je leseno plovilo z ravnim dnom, na premcu se špičasto zaključi, na krmi pa je razširjeno z značilnim pragom, ki potnikom omogoča vstopanje na pletno. Čoln se poganja s posebno tehniko ti.: »Stehrudder tehnik« se pravi stoje.
Ime pletna so naši predniki povzeli po nemški besedi »plateboot«, ki pomeni čoln z ravnim dnom.
Pravice za lastništvo pletne in za prevoz po jezeru so bile podeljene v času vladavine cesarice Marije Terezije in sicer kmetom, ki so dobili dodeljeno slabšo obdelovalno zemljo. Po večini so ti izhajali iz vasice Mlino na jugovzhodni obali Blejskega jezera. Danes je v jezeru 23 pleten in čolnarji delujejo znotraj čolnarskega združenja pletna Bled.
