The waterfall and the bridge at the Gorge




The waterfall





My bike I rented to go to the Gorge.


Today, I rented a bike and went for a 2 km ride to a little town called Vintgar. It was a quiet ride and went to see TD Gorje.
The history of the Gorge. The Radovna river cut the Vintgar gorge deep between the hills of the Hom and Borst. the gorge is flanked by steep slopes overgrown with beech forests. It was discovered in 1891 by Mr. Jakob Zumer mayor of Goje and Mr. Benedikt Legetporer, a cartographer and photographer from Bled. Both were amazed by the beauty and the mysteriosu character of this natural attraction. Local people, however have always viewed the gorge with awe and respect.
In 1893 the gorge open to the public. Constructing a secured tourist trail through the wild gorge was a demanding and an extremely dangerous task.
The roar of the fetterd Radovna river echoes along the 1, 600 metre long gorge, full of small waterfalls, rapids and erosion, potholes where the rive briefly slows down its pace. Trails, narrow passages and bridges lead a visitor to the end of the gorge, which is marked by the magnificent 16 metre high waterfall Sum, the highest fluvial waterfall in Slovenia.



After my bicycle trip to the gorge, I bike around the Lake and took many pictures of Cerkev Marijinega Vnebovzetja on Bled Island. The Lake is crystal clear and you can see the reflections of the building in the lake.

Also I took pictures of the local church.
