Vintgar Gorge

Vintgar Gorge

In the geological past, the Bohinj glacier dammed the Radovna River, forming a lake. The river then broke through the limestone stack and flowed into the Sava Dolinka. It carved a 1600 m long gorge called Vintgar. The gorge is enriched by rapids, pools and erosion pots.

The steep and precipitous walls of the vintgar are 50-100 m high.
