    It's worth to come and see the waterfall, even if you don't intend to see the whole Vintgar gorge (which, by the way, is overpriced and overcrowded, and closed till 15/08/23 due to the weather conditions)

    Insane place in the heart of Slovenia. One of the nicest views you can possibly see and a must see if you come across this lovely area. I recommend to anyone passing by or going to Lake Bled or Lake Bohinj or other areas.

    Loved hiking passed this scenic waterfall. We passed the waterfall on our way to Sveta Katarina. It was a lovely hike for young kids and three dogs. We visited in the middle of November and the cabin at the top of the waterfall was already closed.

    You'd almost want to bring swimwear. But enjoying the view is also great, as the water is incredibly blue here.

    wow what a place,wonderful experience. you can take your dog and view the beautiful gorge. its a 50 minute walk, but afterwards its another hour plus to get to your car because its a one way route in the valley so its a full half day program. important to book your ticket in advance to make sure youre admitted. there is a small restaurant at the end. 15 minute drive from Bled

    Beautiful big waterfall in the end of the Vintgar trail.

    A beautiful waterfall at the end of the Vintgar gorge walk. You can take nice pictures here and if you are lucky, with a train on the bridge on the background.

    Beautiful walks in a beautiful environment, a nice waterfall, the opportunity to take photos from above and below the waterfall. Above the waterfall there is an opportunity to have refreshments.

    I only managed to take a picture from above, I totally forgot to take one from the photo point below after posing for picture myself 😆 anyway come here with your family, friends or alone and get your picture taken, the waterfall is the perfect background! 💦😎 There should be Picknick tables here, so you could eat and enjoy the view! Please add some, thank you 😊

    One way ticket to the end of the 30 minute gorge walk. Cool by the water. Then it's a 45 minute walk back to the car park at the top! There are transfers available at an extra cost. Not all is made clear at the top and there's poor signage at the bottom

    Beautiful waterfall with nice view to the valley and to the mountains too! Viewpoint is below, but also go a bit up to see another falling point.

  • 5/5 Andreja M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Parked near the cemetary for free (parking is paid from April to October). Easy 15 minutes hike to the waterfall. Recommended for anyone looking to see pure nature, and enter Triglav National Park, which is paid after the waterfall.

  • 5/5 G 1 year ago on Google
    It’s about a 3-mile walk in and out but very worth the trek. Incredibly beautiful area.

  • 4/5 yasemin d. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing nature , the important thing is you can not go back you need to finish the whole river to walk . Of you want to go back at one point there 15 euros penalty

  • 5/5 Justin C. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful waterfall. I may have lost my phone there but it was still a lovely experience

  • 4/5 Máté K. 10 months ago on Google
    Personnally i found it a bit expensive since the parking costs 10€ and an adult ticket also 10€. The trip was nice, the landscape is beautiful. Inform yourself if you wanna reduce the price about the parking and the roads.

  • 5/5 Jose Manuel Cadena A. 9 months ago on Google
    10eu car park and 10 eu ticket per person but is completely worthy. Nice long hanging walk along the river.

  • 4/5 Dan M. 10 months ago on Google
    A beautiful Waterfall, not stunning though as there are others much bigger and higher, but in Slovenia this one of the most impressive. You'll reach it anyway if you walk the wooden path of this beautiful Gorge.

  • 5/5 Kevin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice area in Bled. Definitely recommend visiting if you're nearby 🙂 The whole tour takes up to like 3h. Make sure to have some water with you! Especially the way back up the hill can be very exhausting

  • 4/5 Simon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped to view Slap Šum after a walk along Vintgar Gorge. Very impressive waterfall, even though at the end of October the flow through the gorge is reduced compared to spring. Worth noting that whichever way you approach the waterfall, a walk will be involved!

  • 5/5 Koen S. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful place to take pictures and swim. Not for the faint hearted as the water is freezing cold, even in the summer!

  • 5/5 Maksim M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great george, suitable for kids, few options to walk. Restaurant on crosses of trails.

  • 3/5 Noura A. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good, but doesn't deserve 10€ (locals payed 5€), especially if you'll spend just 2 or 3 hours.

  • 5/5 Alex B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Radovna river cuts the Vintgar gorge deep between the hills of Hom and Boršt. It is flanked by steep slopes overgrown with beech forests. Locals have always viewed the gorge with awe and respect. It was discovered in 1891 by Mr Jakob Žumer, the mayor of Gorje, and Mr Benedikt Lergetporer, a cartographer and photographer from Bled. Both were amazed by the beauty and the mysterious character of this natural attraction. In 1893 the gorge was opened to the public. Constructing a secured tourist trail through the wild gorge was a demanding and an extremely dangerous undertaking. The roar of the fettered Radovna river echoes along the 1,600m-long gorge, full of small waterfalls, rapids, and erosion potholes where the river briefly slows down its pace. Trails, narrow passages, and bridges lead a visitor to the end of the gorge, witch is marked by the magnificent 16m-high waterfall Šum, the highest fluvial waterfall in Slovenia. The Vintgar gorge is closed to public during winter.

    Absolutely stunning, wonderful walk, I highly recommend the walk back too if you park at the gorge entrance. The star deduction is for parking though... There's ample parking down at the entrance and another 2 car parks at the top of the road, however these are manned by staff who said we couldnt park our van there (sprinter) to go back to a backyard of a house charging €10!! We chose to park further away into the houses which they overall don't want people doing so... Brings me to my point of disappointment when we walked down and there was sooo much space still to park, with campers bigger than ours in there but we were chosen not to? I didn't understand at all why some were allowed some werent (all various countries numberplates not locals) The parking system really needs work around the entrance. Definitely pre book your ticket online, we walked straight through past a huge que waiting in the sun

    amazing place. It is important to arrive early in the morning. We arrived at 09:00 and the place was almost empty after 2.5 hours when we left there was a big load

  • 4/5 Paulo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good outdoor activity to enjoy alone or in family. - Splenderous nature path along river

  • 5/5 Markus H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, fascinating to see water in so many colors, save to walk, but I would NOT recommend to use slippers... also might be good advice to wear something more suitable than just a t-shirt and shorts ;)

  • 5/5 David E. 2 years ago on Google
    See through waters across this place. Gorgeous place!

  • 5/5 Lena L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful waterfall. Short walk to get to the waterfall. You can also walk above the waterfall and view from a bridge. There is a small shop to buy drinks or grab an ice cream. There is also trails you can take to Lake Bled and other places.
