Blejska Dobrava (cemetery) - Šum waterfall in Vintgar Gorge (by road)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Lipce, where you turn left (direction Blejska Dobrava and Spodnje Gorje). After 100 m of driving, shortly after passing through the railway underpass, you will come to the next junction, where you turn left uphill to Blejska Dobrava (right Bled, Gorje). When the road soon becomes level, drive straight through the village, following signs for Vintgar and the cemetery. After about 1 km you will come to a railway tunnel. On the other side, where the road splits, turn right and after a further 100 m you will arrive at a large parking lot located near the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue on foot in the same direction, straight past the cemetery and the buildings next to it, on your right. Shortly after we reach the dirt road, it turns right and starts to descend gently. The road soon leads us into a mixed forest, where it gently descends all the way round the bends. Then, as it flattens out, it leads us close to the river Radovna and soon to a bridge over it. Just before the bridge, on the right-hand side of the road, you will see a path, which you will take, and along the river bank, across a small bridge, you will reach a popular photographic spot, which offers a beautiful view of the Šum waterfall. After enjoying the views, we return to the bridge, cross the river Radovna, and on the other side, turn right up a small hill (the hydroelectric power station is on the left) to reach the parking lot. At the end of this, you will see concrete steps leading up to a log cabin (in season a buffet and ticket sales for the gorge), behind which there is a bridge crossing the river just above the Šum waterfall (the entrance/exit to the Vintgar gorge is to the left of the log cabin). From the bridge, you can now also see the Šum waterfall from the top downwards.
