Vintgar Gorge, Slovenia

If you feel like you might be going the wrong way, you are more than likely heading in the right direction. Before seeing the sign for Vintgar Gorge you will first see the sign that you are entering Triglav National Park, you will shortly see signs that are brown with arrows pointing you in the right direction. Follow the arrows and not your GPS at this point. 

I was a little hesitant to bring the boys with us on this trip! However it proved to be just fine, and they both had a BLAST! The gorge walkway is easy to walk, I DON’T suggest a stroller or wheelchair as there are steps and very narrow turns!  I suggest baby wearing or have dad carry the kids on their shoulders (that’s what we did with our 2.5-year-old) Our 4-year-old walked just fine the entire time! They both had a blast looking for fish in the crystal-clear water. When the trail ends you are stopped by a coffee/rest stop, and bathrooms (HUGE bonus with kiddos) you then will have to turn around and go back the way you came. 

Below are some of the images I took on our hike!

    I have to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this website. I am hoping to check out the same high-grade content by you in the future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my very own blog now 😉

    Nice overview I was thinking of bringing my old parents. Your review made me drop the wheel chair idea thanks. But they should be able to walk I guess. Also your pics are stunning. There seems to be a bit more light and less coloring. By using softwares like adobe lightroom you can glorify your pics better. if you are already using it then I suggest a better camera. Keep up the good work. Thanks
