The gorge and river are phenomenal \u2013 undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Slovenia and Europe, and therefore a place not to be missed.<\/p>\n<p>Located in the Triglav National Park (the only national park in Slovenia), the Vintgar Gorge is just 4 km northwest of the center of Bled.<\/p>\n<p>Although the route is only 1.6 km long, it is very important to bear in mind that the route is linear and only done in one direction. In addition, at the end of the walkways, there are two trails to return to the beginning. It is not possible to go back by car or back through the walkways.<\/p>\n<p>Entrance to the walkways is controlled, and it is necessary to purchase a ticket.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" alt=\"How to hike the Vintgar gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-768x554.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 1 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"How to hike the Vintgar gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-768x554.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 1 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vintgar Footbridges is one of the best trails in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Information_%E2%80%93_Vintgar_Walkways\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Information_%E2%80%93_Vintgar_Walkways\"><\/span>General Information \u2013 Vintgar Walkways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Vintgar Gorge<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start <\/strong>\u2013 Entrance to the canyon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>End <\/strong>\u2013 Gorge Exit<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distance <\/strong>\u2013 1.6 km (walkways only)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time required<\/strong> \u2013 2 to 3 hours, with time to return to the beginning by the trail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical difficulty<\/strong> \u2013 very easy if we only include the walkways.

Since the path is only one way, it is not possible to go back through the walkways!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"cafe at the end of the Walkways in the Vintgar Gorge\" class=\"wp-image-33865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 6 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"cafe at the end of the Walkways in the Vintgar Gorge\" class=\"wp-image-33865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cafe-no-final-dos-passadicos-de-Vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 6 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the end of the Vintgar Walkways, there is a cafe where you can relax<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_go_back_to_the_beginning_or_to_the_park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_go_back_to_the_beginning_or_to_the_park\"><\/span>How to go back to the beginning or to the park?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To go back to the beginning, we have two options: go through St Catherine or Blejska Dobrava.

The beginning of the return route is very tough, with two steep climbs in just 1.2 km.

Since it is completely outdoors, rainy days should be avoided. But even if it\u2019s just cloudy or grey, it spoils the experience a bit, as the sun gives a special glow to the fabulous turquoise waters of the Radovna River.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, fully enjoying this beautiful pedestrian route can be difficult in winter. Summer will have less rainy or cloudy days, so the gorge will show all its splendor.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is another problem. This is one of the most popular destinations in Slovenia, so it\u2019s likely to be packed with foreigners and locals. If you plan to go in high season, avoid the period between 10:00 and 13:00, as it is the most popular.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you can choose the time to visit the Vintgar Gorge, we suggest you go in May\/June as you will have a good chance of sunbathing and, in principle, not many people. You won\u2019t have the walkways all to yourself, but it will be enough to make the most of it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" alt=\"Vintgar gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x555.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 9 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Vintgar gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/paisagem-de-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x555.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 9 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">landscape and Radovna river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_do_this_hike\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_do_this_hike\"><\/span>Who can do this hike?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First of all, it must be emphasized that to walk the walkways of the Vintgar Gorge, it is also necessary to take a trek from the end back to the beginning or the car park. There\u2019s no other way.<\/p>\n<p>The walkways are quite short and without much difficulty, so it is accessible to anyone who is used to walking. Plus, they are always descending.<\/p>\n<p>However, the path after the end of the walkways is much more difficult and involves a lot more walking. Almost anyone can do it if taking it slow, but the effort is much greater than the walkways themselves.<\/p>\n<p>We, therefore, suggest this route to anyone who enjoys walking outdoors and can walk about 5 km, with some steep climbs. Children used to walking shouldn\u2019t have any problems either.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors and people with less mobility should pay attention to the total distance, not just the walkways. The walkways would be easy, but the paths to get back to the start are much harder and longer than the walkways. We took this path with our parents, who are not used to walking, and it was quite hard for them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Who can hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 10 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Who can hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways\" class=\"wp-image-33870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-radovna-nos-passadicos-de-vintgar-gorge-na-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 10 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beautiful walkways of Vintgar and Radovna river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_pack_for_the_Vintgar_Gorge_walkways\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_pack_for_the_Vintgar_Gorge_walkways\"><\/span>What to pack for the Vintgar Gorge walkways?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite being in a national park and a mountainous area, the walkways make our lives much easier, so you don\u2019t need specific materials for this walk.

One option is to go back to the entrance and take the shuttle back, another is to walk directly to the entrance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"como chegar aos passadi\u00e7os do Vintgar Gorge\" class=\"wp-image-33873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 13 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"como chegar aos passadi\u00e7os do Vintgar Gorge\" class=\"wp-image-33873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rio-Radovna-vintgar-gorge-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to hike the Vintgar Gorge walkways, Slovenia 13 Vintgar Gorge Walkways\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vintgar Gorge Landscape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span>Public transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> by public transport, you have three hypotheses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walk from Bled to the Vintgar entrance (10 km, and takes about 3 hours)<\/li>\n<li>take a bus to Podhom (takes about 25 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>if you come by train, you can get off at Podhom station (only 15 minutes on foot).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_when_doing_the_Vintgar_Gorge_Walkways\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_when_doing_the_Vintgar_Gorge_Walkways\"><\/span>Where to stay when doing the Vintgar Gorge Walkways?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When planning to visit the Vintgar walkways, the best place to stay is in Bled or one of the closer villages.
