Experience the stunning beauty of Vintgar Gorge, also known as Bled Gorge (Blejski vintgar)! This remarkable 1.6-kilometer (0.99 mi) gem is nestled in the breathtaking northwestern part of Slovenia, connecting the charming municipalities of Gorje and Bled.

Carved by the mighty Radovna River, the gorge flows gracefully through the enchanting Radovna Valley, creating a mesmerizing landscape. As you stroll along the paths, you’ll be captivated by the incredible erosive features, including serene pools and thrilling rapids, all sculpted by nature’s artistry.

At the end of your journey, you’ll be greeted by the awe-inspiring Šum Falls, soaring 13 meters (43 ft) high. Known as the “Noisy Falls,” this is Slovenia’s largest river waterfall and a spectacular sight that you absolutely must see!
