There’s no denying Vintgar Gorge, also known as Bled Gorge, is one the most beautiful places in Slovenia. It was only discovered in 1891, but within a couple of years it was opened up to public, with a network of wooden bridges and pathways had been built so visitors could get in and explore this impressive natural wonder. The paths are still there today, though they’ve been rebuilt a few times since the 1890s, the last time in 2018.

The path is a fairly easy walk though it can get quite busy on a nice summer day. Because it winds along the cliff you never know what you’re going to come across around the next corner, from deep pools with swirling shoals of fish to patches of delicate wildflowers.
