Vincent Poon :: Vintgar Gorge
 
Located just north of Bled, Vintgar gorge is a 2-km long ravine carved by the rushing waters of the Radovna river.
 
Originally came only because it was part of the day tour to Lake Bled and Postonjna Cave, but this turned out to be a hidden gem that was definitely worth the two-hour walk to start off the day!

We actually started from the end of the trail and worked our way back to the entrance
The gorge is overgrown with beech forests.
Stone arch railway bridge over the Radovna for Bohinj Railway
The end of the trail is marked by the magnificent, 16 m high waterfall Šum, the highest fluvial waterfall in Slovenia.

The Radovna river cuts the Vintgar gorge deep between the hills of Hom and Boršt.
The highlight is a 1600m wooden walkway through the gorge, built in 1893 and continually rebuilt ever since.
The wooden walkway crisscrosses the swirling Radovna River four times over rapids, waterfalls and pools
The water is very clear and sometimes it looks emerald green and other times it is turquoise blue. They say there are fishes swimming in it though i didn't see any

Along the trail there are many rapids like this
Even though I have just been to Plitvice@Croatia, walking along this gorge is another level of experience
Almost near the end of the walk, I must say the walk was easy (even for me) and was well worth the 2 hour and the 5 euro
The ticketing office at the entrance, and to us, the end of our pleasant walk
