About this audio guide
This guide to Vintgar Gorge, a short drive from Lake Bled, goes back to February eighteen ninety-one, when the Radovna river ran unusually low and two local men decided to see where it led. You'll meet Jakob Žumer, the mayor of Gorje, and Benedikt Lergetporer, a photographer and mapmaker from Bled. Listen on the wooden galleries that hug the cliff, with the green water right below you.
