ABOUT THIS WEBLOG

The purpose of my trip was to take up an invitation to spend a week with best mate of 43 years, also from Melbourne, who owns a modest apartment in the Slovenian coastal town of Piran, on the Adriatic Coast.

My trip was from July 18 to August 11 2016, starting and finishing at Melbourne's international airport. The Slovenian segment was from July 29 to August 6, which took us through some of Western Slovenia's spectacular alpine scenery.

The European part of my trip commenced in Milan (Italy) whence I travelled by train through to Trieste, on the Slovenian border.

After leaving Slovenia, I travelled from Ljubljana through to Vienna, where I spent a few days, before flying back to Melbourne.

SLOVENIA - Vintgar Gorge

Vintgar Gorge
Pix taken on  Aug 3, 2016.

The Vintgar Gorge or Bled Gorge is a 1.6 km gorge in northwestern Slovenia in the municipalities of Gorje and Bled, four kilometers northwest of Bled.

 Carved by the Radovna River, it is the continuation of the Radovna Valley. The sheer canyon walls are 50 to 100 meters high, with a total slope measuring about 250 m. The stream has created many erosive features such as pools and rapids, and terminates in the picturesque 13 m Šum Falls, the largest river waterfall in Slovenia.
