Walk through a gorge in Slovenia
The stunning natural beauty of Slovenia is best experienced on a walk through one of its gorges. We’ll show you famous gorges like the Vintgar and Tolmin Gorges. But did you know that Slovenia is home to many more breathtaking gorges, where you can enjoy nature’s splendour as you walk?
Which gorge in Slovenia do you think is the most beautiful?
The Tolmin Gorge
The Tolmin Gorge is like a painting brought to life. With crystal-clear blue water flowing through the rocky ravine and lush greenery clinging to its walls, it feels almost as if heaven and earth meet right here.
Take in the view from a suspended bridge and breathe in the fresh mountain air as you surround yourself with the overwhelming beauty of nature.
The Tolmin Gorge is considered by many as the most beautiful gorge in Slovenia. Would you like to experience this?

The Vintgar Gorge
Imagine walking through the pages of a fairytale – that’s what you’ll feel in the Vintgar Gorge. Emerald green water flows between high cliffs, creating an enchanting view at every bend.
The sound of babbling water will accompany you as you stroll across wooden bridges and footpaths, surrounded by lush forest and the sound of water rushing through rapids and waterfalls.
The Vintgar Gorge is rightly one of the most popular places in Slovenia. Read our tips for your visit to the Vintgar Gorge
Mostnica Gorge
Close to Lake Bohinj, you’ll find wonderful walks. The Mostnica Gorge offers beautiful waterfalls, deep and shallow gorges, and a gorgeous forested landscape.
From the entrance, you can make a nice loop walk through the gorge in one to one and a half hours. Read all about the Mostnica Gorge.
Pokljuka Gorge
Near Bled you’ll find a marvellous walking area not yet discovered by most visitors. The Pokljuka Gorge is free to enter. Unlike busier tourist spots, you can enjoy nature here in complete tranquillity.
Take an unforgettable hike along majestic rock walls through stunning nature. Walk across a bridge beside an impressive cliff face, find your way through a cave where the path winds through the roof, and let yourself be enchanted by the peace and quiet of this place.

Dovžan Gorge
North of the town of Tržič you’ll find a beautiful route between the mountain walls. The Dovžan Gorge is crossed by a public road. You won’t need to buy a ticket for entry. It’s a beautiful place for a hike.
Floods in 2023 caused damage to the route. This reveals the force of the water in the otherwise idyllic Tržič Bistrica river.
The Soča Gorge (Velika Korita Soča)
The Soča River runs along the road from the Vršič Pass towards Bovec. Midway, the river rushes through a gorge many metres deep. From several bridges by the roadside, you can watch the crystal blue water tumble through the ravine.
A little further on, the gorge widens into a gentle river where you can swim. The end of the narrow gorge offers a beautiful rock formation, from which daredevils take the plunge.
Here you’ll find a car park (paid) at the spot where you can swim. From there, you can also walk back along the gorge.
Lose yourself in the magic of Slovenia’s gorges!
Step into a world shaped by the power of nature and beauty all around you. Whether you’re an adventurer looking for excitement or a nature lover wanting to relax and unwind. Set out and enjoy the blue water and breathtaking landscapes of Slovenia’s many gorges.
