We walked to the Vintgar Gorge from Bled, which was about 3 or 4 kms uphill. The signs are pretty easy to follow. The Gorge was beautiful! There is an entry fee, I think it was 4 euros for an adult. There are toilet facilities at both ends of the gorge. You can start from either end. We started upriver,... More

Was easy to find, narrow roads through villages, we were surprised when we arrived at 10am to find 6 coaches already there. How they managed the roads! There is a charge of 4 euros to go on the walk Most of the walk was on a wooden path anchored into the cliff face which slalomed with bridges over the water... More

You will take tons of pictures here. It's very easy walk. If you get there by bus, be sure you ask when the last bus. It's 3 kilometers walk from there to Bled More

We stayed in a rental apartment close to Vintgar Gorge, but it is worth the visit anyway. It is a place of great beauty and offers good physical exercise too. The route is not too strenuous and anybody who is reasonably fit, can do it. Wear good, comfortable walking shoes, as it can get slippery on the walkways. More

Near Bled lake there is a place where the waters are so clean and everything is very beautiful. We discover the place due to turanus. The driver suggested us to see this gorge when we visited the lake. Vintgar gorge and Tolmin are, in my opinion the most beautiful gorges in Slovenia. The landscapes take your breath away. More

If you are in the area, this is well worth a visit. Beautiful walk by the river. It is possible to walk here from nearby villages, which is very enjoyable. We went through woods which would have been good for a picnic had we wanted to extend the visit. More

Especially people from countries with scarce water supply will love this heaven of an absolutely clean greenish river with its affluent flow through the canyon, with its many rapids, whirlpools and the roaring, highest water fall in the end. You can cross its 1.6 km in 40 minutes, but will actually spend more than an hour and a half walking... More

Beautiful, pure river running in the narrow gorge. The route is about 1,5 km. The river looks really pristine. A great place to visit for every nature lover. Entrance fee about 8 euros. More

A cab ride out there cost 14 euros. Admission into the gorge is just a dew dollars. Beautiful walk on boardwalks and paths through the river gorge with lots of visible trout, rushing water, and birds chirping in the trees. It took about an hour leisurely walk to get to the falls at the end. (The dam is not the... More

I recommend to visit in summer, to get away from hot weather. Canyon is not as big as Grand Canyon, but it's nice nevertheless. More
