[2025 Podhom Attraction] Travel Guide for Vintgar Gorge (Updated Apr)

| Slovenia | Bled | Vintgar Gorge | It only took half a day to walk around Lake Bled. I didn’t want to waste the bus fare, but I didn’t know how to spend the rest of the time. Ventgar Canyon might be a good choice. The famous hiking trails in Slovenia are private attractions for foreign tourists. You can avoid the crowds and take a hiking trip. I would describe Vintega Canyon as a mini version of Taroko National Park. It is not too big, but the landforms in the park are complete. There are wooden plank roads along the way built over the winding river valley. The road is quite flat and walking on it is not tiring at all. It is suitable for you who do not exercise. The river is sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm. With the wooden plank road crossing the river and going back and forth between the two banks, it feels like stepping into a primeval forest. The green water of the river is so clear that it rivals the Plitvice Lakes, and even the rotten wood at the bottom of the river can be clearly seen. If you are tired of the crowds at Lake Bled, the Vintgar Gorge is a great option to get out of the city and into the embrace of nature. The zero-pollution natural scenery depends entirely on the self-discipline of tourists. It also implies that Hong Kong people have the same aspirations and practice taking away their own rubbish. Last time when I introduced Lake Bled, I forgot to recommend the cream cake, which is an important symbol of Bled and basically no tourist would miss it. As for the taste, it is a matter of personal preference. (I think it's average, but not bad. _____________________________________________ 📍 Travel to Gorje, Podhom 80, 4247 Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia 🕑 7:00~20:00 (depending on the month) / Closed from December to March #mytravoto #Lifeisaneverlastingjourney #TheMostStylishTravelExperience #NaturalWonders #TravelInspiration #Overseas Travel

Vintgar Gorge, one of Slovenia's most stunning natural attractions, is a must-visit for anyone exploring the country's breathtaking landscapes. Located just a short drive from Lake Bled, this picturesque gorge was carved by the Radovna River and stretches 1.6 kilometers, offering an enchanting walk along its wooden walkways and bridges. Visiting Vintgar Gorge on a summer morning was a refreshing escape into nature's beauty. The cool air, combined with the gentle splash of water from the crystal-clear river flowing beneath the wooden paths, made the experience feel invigorating. Surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery, the sound of rushing water echoed through the gorge, creating a peaceful and calming atmosphere. The sunlight filtering through the trees added a magical glow to the scene, highlighting the vivid turquoise hues of the water. It was the perfect way to start the day, offering both tranquility and a much-needed break from the summer heat.

Lot of people say that it's overrated but I think it is totally worth it! You can book your timeslot on the website which shows when should you visit, but generally there are a lot of people all day long. Walking through the gorge is one way only, takes around 1-2 hours depending on your pace and the number of pictures you would like to take. Wearing a helmet is obligatory, they are providing it at the beginning of the tour. It is even more beautiful than on the pictures, especially on a sunny day. At the end you can choose between two options how would you like to get back to the starting point. I chose the King of Triglav path and it was a great decision, amazing view to the mountains during the 1-1.5h long hike. #100WaysOfTravel#slovenia #vintgar
