Had breakfast at 4 points at around 6:30. Was elaborate and good. Took an apple for the road. Decided to leave early so that I could reach Vintgar gorge by 8 am. Apparently the crowds build up a lot after 9. The drive towards the Julian Alps was very beautiful
Reached the gorge by 8:30 and that was a good decision. The only other person apart from me was the guy collecting garbage. The water was extremely clear.
Reached a bridge at the half way mark and saw a train go through. The views from the train would be amazing I guess. Walked all the way to the end of the gorge - took around 45 minutes and saw a waterfall at the end.
Walked all the way back and the crowd was building up. Lots of people walking on the narrow bridges, Started driving towards lake Bled. Reached Bled castle and went in. The castle itself is not much but the whole reason to go in was only to see the view of lake Bled and the island in the middle.
All this got over by 9:30 and the only thing planned for the day was the next lake at Bohinj. Decided to check the internet and found that a drive through the Triglav National Park leads me to Vrsic Pass - a high mountain pass across the Julian Alps. Started driving towards the pass
Reached the pass and took a few pics. Stopped a lot of times on the way. Views were just amazing!
Started driving towards lake Bohinj. Lots of people at the lake enjoying the sun.
The Vogel cable car takes you to the ski center on top of the mountains. During summer the ride is useful to see the views of lake Bohinj and the surrounding mountains. There is nothing else to do on the top
Got down from the ski center and started driving to Savica waterfall. The road was really narrow with hardly space for one car. Towards the end a guy in a bike from the opposite side fell right in front of my car. He was too fast and tried to avoid colliding with me. Fell down, but was in full bike gear and was not hurt. Got out of the car to check if he was ok. Everything looked fine. Continued the drive towards the waterfall. Was a long walk as well to the waterfall.
Started driving back to the hotel. Very slow moving traffic along lake Bled. Took nearly an hour more than normal. Reached the hotel and had the same veggy patty and wine
