About this audio guide
This guide to Šum Falls, at the end of the Vintgar Gorge near Lake Bled, follows a family holiday in July 2021 and a summer day on the walkways that ended in a helicopter flight to Ljubljana. It turns into a question of who actually answers for a natural gorge: the state, Triglav National Park, the municipality of Gorje and a village tourist society all have a claim. Best heard on the viewing spot facing the falls, with the cliffs above in sight.
