As of June 2025, a shuttle bus departs every 20 minutes from the Vintgar LIP parking lot. Parking and bus are free. Tickets are only available online (you must book a time slot) or at the parking lot (wait for the next available time slot; the day may be fully booked). There are no tickets available directly at the gorge …

The gorge is actually a MUST for every visitor nearby.

The only drawback is the crowds, which they try to control by limiting the number of people. Every few minutes a small group is let into the gorge. This leads to waiting times on the one hand, but to reasonably acceptable crowds in the gorge. I dare not imagine what …

Absolutely recommended!!
But:
Reserve online! We had to wait 2 hours for a free slot...
Parking on site costs 10€. There is also a shuttle bus from Bled.

Today we walked through the Vintgar Gorge, it was beautiful. We actually thought it would be the right place in the heat...but that wasn't the case 😂 The walk through the gorge was very beautiful, but the way back wasn't so

October 7, 2024,Slowenien III: Vintgar-Klamm bei Bled 🌊

Four kilometers north of Bled, the Vintgar Gorge offers a spectacular change from the picturesque and peaceful Lake Bled. Thundering masses of water - especially after heavy rainfall - force their way through a narrow gorge for 1.7 kilometers in turquoise. You cross the wild water four times on wooden footbridges. At the end, the roaring Šum waterfall awaits you …

Be sure to get up early if you want to enjoy the gorge, which is well worth seeing!!! We were at the start at half past eight and had hardly seen anyone...after the way back via the Höhenweg to the parking lot, there were legions on the road and the parking lots were overcrowded.
