Boardwalks Above the Emerald Radovna

Vintgar Gorge lies a short distance from Lake Bled in northwest Slovenia. The Radovna River has cut a narrow canyon about 1.6 kilometers long, with cliffs rising high above clear green pools, rapids and small waterfalls.

In 1891 Jakob Žumer and Benedikt Lergetporer explored and photographed the gorge, and in 1893 it opened to visitors with wooden galleries and bridges fixed to the cliffs. Today the boardwalks still follow the river closely, and a one-way route helps manage the crowds.

Near the end, a stone arch railway bridge carrying the Bohinj line crosses high overhead. The walk finishes at the Šum waterfall, about 13 meters tall. The gorge usually closes in winter, when ice makes the paths unsafe, and tickets are needed in the main season.
