Vintgar Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Either early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
The canyon itself is beautiful, but during the usual "rush hour" tourists are busily bushland and the visit is not fun anymore ...

June 3, 2022,Wanderung Bled - Vintgar Klamm

Nice hike because it starts from the center of Bled. In warm weather, running on country roads in the sun is exhausting. The coolness in the gorge compensates.
The tour can only be walked in one direction because the gorge is a one-way street.
In Bled back there is the deserved cheesecake.

Today we visited another sight in Slovenia, the Vintgar Gorge. A very beautiful and easy to walk gorge. You can only walk in one direction. It is blocked from the other. There is a small restaurant at the entrance and at the exit of the gorge. Toilets are also at the entrance and exit. The path is easy to walk …

Walked through the Vintgar Gorge early this morning - helmets are compulsory and you're not alone.
Then we went over the mountain down to Bled with its lake and picturesque panorama.
