Bled to Vintgar Gorge and Ljubljana: Private day trip

Vintgar Gorge is located in Triglav National Park near the famous Lake Bled. The 1.6m long gorge is carved by the Radovna River and crosses it a total of four times over rapids and waterfalls. A wooden walkway built in 1893 (that has been continually rebuilt since) leads the way around the gorge to get you as close to the turquoise water as possible. Towards the end of the gorge, onlookers become dazzled by an old stone railway bridge and the Sum Waterfall (the largest one in Slovenia).

Wedged between Austria and Italy, Ljubljana is small in surface area but large in terms of hospitality and quality of life. It was awarded the “Green Capital of Europe” for 2016. The city features a plethora of theaters, museums, and galleries and is home to one of the oldest philharmonic orchestras in the world. Stop by the Ljubljana Castle to check the marvelous view from its Tower and walk the Three Bridges over the Ljubljanica River into Old City. Traffic is restricted in the city center, leaving the banks of the river free for pedestrians and cyclists. With a name (according to one theory) meaning “beloved”, how could you not love it?
