Fodor's Expert Review Soteska Vintgar

This gorge was cut between precipitous cliffs by the clear Radovna River, which flows down numerous waterfalls and through pools and rapids. The marked gorge trail leads over bridges, wooden walkways, and gullies. It was discovered almost by accident in 1891 by a photographer and local mayor, but the authorities quickly recognized its potential. By 1893 it was open to the public, and this stunning 1.6-km (1-mile) gorge of natural beauty has been stealing hearts ever since. The vertical walls of the Hom and Boršt hills create a real sense of drama. If you are heading to Triglav National Park from Bled, this is the most exciting (and beautiful) way to do it.
