One of the most exciting activities you can experience in Soteska Vintgar is undoubtedly canyoning. This extreme form of canyon exploration combines elements of climbing, swimming and water jumping, offering unforgettable thrills and views not available to ordinary tourists.

To experience this adventure safely and professionally, it is advisable to use the services of experienced guides. One of the best-rated companies organizing canoeing expeditions in the area is 3glav Adventures (rating 4.9/5). Their offering 'The Original Emerald River Adventure & Canyoning Bob' is very popular among tourists.

Expedition participants praise the professionalism of the guides, their knowledge and attention to safety. As one customer recalls: 'We recently had an amazing adventure while canyoning! The scenery was breathtaking, our guide Adam was amazing, knowledgeable, patient and full of energy.

During the canyoning at Soteskej Vintgar, you will have the opportunity to cross rushing streams, slide down waterfalls on ropes and jump into crystal clear rock pools. It's a great opportunity to push your limits and feel the true adrenaline rush while surrounded by amazing nature.

Remember, however, that canyoning is an extreme sport, requiring good physical fitness and courage. Make sure you meet the age and health requirements before signing up for the trip. 3glav Adventures provides all the necessary equipment, including wetsuits, helmets and harnesses, but it's a good idea to bring a swimsuit, towel and athletic shoes that can get wet.

Prices for canoeing expeditions usually range from 60 to 100 euros per person, depending on the length of the route and degree of difficulty. Always check current prices on the organizer's official website, as they are subject to change depending on the season.

Soteska Vintgar is not only a paradise for extreme sports enthusiasts, but also a great place for hiking enthusiasts. Picturesque trails through the gorge and the surrounding countryside offer unforgettable views and opportunities for close contact with wildlife.

One of the most popular hiking routes is the trail through the Vintgar Gorge itself. This route, managed by Turistično društvo Gorje (rated 4.5/5), leads over wooden footbridges and bridges over the crystal clear, turquoise water of the Radovny River. As one tourist recalls: 'A beautiful place to enjoy nature. The colors of nature allow the heart and soul to breathe and fill with energy.

The trail through the Vintgar Gorge is about 1.6 kilometers long one way and is relatively easy, accessible even to families with children. Along the trail you will find numerous viewpoints from which you can admire the picturesque cascades and rock formations. At the end of the trail, the impressive Šum Waterfall (rating 4.7/5), falling from a height of 13 meters, awaits you.

For more advanced hikers, we recommend a trip to Pokljuka gorge (rating 4.8/5). This lesser-known but equally impressive gorge offers a wilder and less crowded route. As one tourist describes: 'A very beautiful nature hike. A circuitous route that takes about a couple of hours. There are two routes, one shorter and the other complete, which goes through the gorge and up the mountain.

It is worth remembering that the trails in and around Soteskej Vintgar can be demanding, especially after rain. Always have appropriate trekking shoes and a supply of water. The trails can be crowded during the summer season, so consider visiting early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the crowds and enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Admission prices to Vintgar Gorge in 2023 were around €10 for adults and €3 for children, but it's always worth checking current prices on the official website of Turistično društvo Gorje. Admission to Pokljuka gorge is free, making it an attractive alternative for thrifty tourists.

Soteska Vintgar is the gateway to even greater adventures in Triglav National Park (rating 4.8/5). This largest national park in Slovenia offers countless opportunities for extreme sports and outdoor enthusiasts.

One of the most exciting attractions in the park is rafting on the Soča River. This emerald river is famous for its crystal clear water and picturesque canyons, offering routes of varying degrees of difficulty. As one tour participant from 3glav Adventures recalls: 'A great trip in Triglav National Park with the most important rafting on the Soca River. (...) You can always feel safe and well taken care of.

For lovers of heights, the park offers rock climbing and via ferrata. Routes of varying difficulty allow both beginners and advanced climbers to enjoy beautiful views from the height of the rocks. Remember, however, that these activities require proper preparation and equipment - always use certified guides.

If you are looking for a slightly less extreme, but still thrilling experience, consider a balloon flight over the park. This unforgettable experience will allow you to admire the beauty of the Julian Alps from a whole new perspective. As one participant describes: 'I flew in a hot air balloon and it was a great experience, very relaxing!'

Triglav National Park is also a paradise for lovers of long hikes. Trails of varying difficulty lead through picturesque valleys, alpine meadows and rugged mountain peaks. The most ambitious can take on the challenge of climbing Slovenia's highest peak, Triglav, although this expedition requires good preparation and mountain experience.

It is worth remembering that activities in Triglav National Park are subject to certain regulations aimed at protecting nature. Always follow park rules, do not litter and respect wildlife. Prices for individual activities can vary widely, from free hiking trails to expensive balloon flights or guided climbing expeditions. Always check current prices with organizers and book in advance, especially during the peak summer season.
