Lake
Bled - Vintgar Gorge
Vintgar Gorge is located on the eastern edge of Triglav National Park about
4 km from Bled. It was a pleasant walk to the gorge. We were quite surprised
when we reached the parking area and saw how many people were visiting. Glad
it was a one way trail! After walking through the gorge we walked through
forest and scenic pastures back to Bled.

On our way the Vintgar Gorge at 9 am, we decided to
gather some energy in the form of hazelnut cake & cream cake. Linda
is trying the cream cake (Kremna rezina). Lake Bled has the certificate
granting protected designation of origin status because the recipe comes
from here. Both were delicious! |
The walk to Vintgar Gorge passed through rural farms
and small villages. |
Loved to see these road signs! There are so many roads
that look like bike paths we often get turned around. Google maps is
actually very good, but if you can find a street name, it must be spelled
out because there is no way to pronounce it! |
|
Vintgar Gorge is 1 mile long and 820 feet deep. The
one way trail consists of bridges and boardwalks. |
Vintgar Gorge. Absolutely beautiful crystal clear water. |
This is the Sum waterfall at the end of the gorge. |
|
Passing thru the village of Zasip. As we wandered down,
it was very fun to see all the different landscapes & houses. |
Checking out the flowers. The phone tells us this is
climbing dog rose. |
We came by beautiful flowers in yards on the walk back
to Bled. There weren't many cars on this road, more bicycles and walkers.
The roads are narrow, seems like one lane but we did see traffic both
ways. |
