This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Vintgar Klamm, a beautiful gorge with the Radovna river. We walked along wooden paths and enjoyed the view of the clear, turquoise water. "Wir fahren von Bled aus ca. 15 Minuten in die Vintgar Klamm, in der sich der herrlich klare und türkisblaue Fluss Radovna durch eine phänomenal schöne Felsschlucht schlängelt."

Highlights: The gorge was a beautiful, wild spectacle of nature. We found the wooden paths relatively safe for children. "Ich fand die Holzwege der Vintgar Klamm relativ sicher für Kinder, da gibt es definitiv gefährlichere Klammen mit engeren Holzbbrücken." ✨
