After walking up a very step path to Bled castle, sitting outside with a cold beer with this view made it worth it, many times over.
You can see the castle i was in in this shot.

I used unsharp mask with a high radius (20 or 30) to remove some haze. Didn't want to affect the nice foreground so I did it in a separate layer and used a gradient to mask that out.

Then I adjusted curves to get more contrast in the bright colors. Again doing the layer/gradient mask trick to leave the foreground as it was.

Lastly I changed color balance a tiny bit towards the blue.
