Fresh trout taken from a cage suspended in the Radnova River
A portion of the mile long footbridge built in 1893 that precariously clings to the steep cliff side.
Walking the three miles to Bled's nearby Vintgar Gorge is a pleasant full day excursion, well worth undertaking. It is an easy walk through the countryside, passing pastoral sites and small villages. Along the way stop at the nearby Vintgar Gorge restaurant where you can refesh youself with a cool Union beer and lunch on fresh trout kept in cages immersed in the Radnova River, which created the gorge. The highlight of the trip is the mile long footbridge, built in 1893. It clings to the sides of the gorge, crossing the Radnova River several times, ending up at Sum falls. This is delightful 40 foot fall that without the footbridge would be almost impossible to reach. You can, of course, drive there by car. But the walk through the countryside makes for a much more rewarding experience.
