As everywhere in the Julian Alps, the rock consists of the uplifted deposits of a primeval sea, into which the water dug itself ever deeper over thousands of years, shaping this spectacular gorge.<\/p>\n<p>The gorge was opened up only towards the end of the 19th century. In 1893 a local cartographer and a photographer discovered the hidden canyon and, shortly afterwards, had wooden gallery walkways built into the rock walls, which lead the visitor through the gorge close above the roaring water. These bold wooden constructions, renewed again and again, still make the Vintgar Gorge passable today and are themselves part of its history. The gorge is also crossed beneath by a bold stone railway viaduct from the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which carried the railway line from Bohinj over the mountains. At the end of the gorge the river plunges into the depths over the \u0160um Waterfall, the highest river waterfall in Slovenia, a brilliant finale to this natural beauty made accessible by human hands.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die Vintgar-Klamm nordwestlich von Bled f\u00fchrt \u00fcber h\u00f6lzerne Galerien und Br\u00fccken rund 1,6 km durch die enge, von der Radovna gegrabene Schlucht mit smaragdgr\u00fcnem Wasser.
