About Vintgar Gorge
Four kilometres north-west of Bled, on the eastern edge of Triglav National Park, Vintgar is a gorge 1,600 metres long and up to 250 metres deep, carved by the Radovna and the glaciers. A protected path has led through it since 1893, along wooden galleries and bridges fixed to the rock, ending at the Šum waterfall, and more than 600 plant species grow along the way. The full Vintgar experience takes three hours or more, returning along the King Triglav Trail. Open April to October: buy tickets online, park at VINTGAR LIP, take the e-shuttle and avoid 10am–1pm.
