Vintgar Gorge
The Vintgar Gorge ((スロベニア語:soteska Vintgar)) or Bled Gorge () is a 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 high, with a total slope measuring about . The stream has created many erosive features such as pools and rapids, and terminates in the picturesque Šum Falls (literally, 'noisy falls'), the largest river waterfall in Slovenia.〔 As the first mountain gorge in the area to be made accessible to tourists, the word ''vintgar'' has been generalized in Slovene to refer to other scenic, protected gorges, e.g. the (), the () on Pohorje and the Ribnica Gorge () in Bohinj.
==History==
Until 1890, the gorge was mainly inaccessible, except for two points at which the Radovna could be reached, and a bridge over Šum Falls was already built in 1878. The rest of the gorge was explored in 1891 by the mayor of Gorje, Jakob Žumer, and by Benedikt Lergetporer, a prominent photographer of the era.
In 1893 the gorge was equipped with wooden observation walkways and bridges with great effort〔 and was opened to the public on August 26, 1893.〔 The walkways, which were later named Žumer Galleries () in the most prominent part of the gorge,〔 have been renovated several times since.
A hydroelectric dam has also been built below the gorge and an arch railway bridge for the Bohinj Railway. The bridge, built in 1904 and 1905 of cut stone, is the largest stone arch railway bridge preserved in its entirety in Slovenia. It is long, wide and high.
