Itinerary description
|
Short but suggestive route within the gorges of the Radovna river, I recorded only the outward stretch in reality the route is round trip.
There are two entrances to the gorges, the most popular in the village of Podhom near Gorje and the secondary one in Vintgar near Blejska Dobrava.
We preferred to start from Vintgar with the idea, starting early in the morning, of finding fewer people in the initial stretch because the crowd, which enters from the main entrance, has not yet reached the bottom of the gorge. Unfortunately it was not as we had imagined, but there was no problem to park or even queue at the ticket office.
Note:
1. in the last few months the ticket price has been retouched several times, from 4 to 5 euros, to go to 9 euros at the beginning of 2019. Now (August 2019) is 10 euros per person, plus the price of the parking (which should be 5 euros) if you enter Podhom.
2. go there with appropriate footwear (eg sneakers or boots), I have seen unheard of things: people in flip-flops and women with high-heeled shoes. The path is easy but getting hurt on vacation should not be a good thing.
3. In the gorges it is cooler than outside, if the day is warm you look good in a t-shirt otherwise consider taking something to cover yourself
4. There is no risk of getting wet
