Gorges within an hour or two of Kočevje

Vintgar Gorge (Blejski vintgar) is a narrow gorge carved by the Radovna River, shared by the municipalities of Bled, Gorje and Jesenice in the Gorenjska region. A path of wooden walkways and bridges follows the river along the steep rock walls, passing rapids and pools, and ends near the Šum waterfall. It lies just north of Bled, making it an easy half-day walk from the lake.
