Slovenia: Vintgar Gorge, Lake Bohinj & Ljubljana

We had an amazing time on Lake Bled and were so sad to leave. There are so many activities and wonderful things to do with the kids around the lake that you could truly spend an entire vacation there. Just keep in mind that parking is slim to none and very expensive.
In this video, we hiked Vintgar Gorge, which was stunning, but the walk back along the trail was pretty strenuous. With the kids on our backs, we were exhausted by the time we got back to the car.
Lake Bohinj was a fail. We drove around for what felt like forever and couldn't find anywhere to park to head over for a swim, so decided to move on to Ljubljana.
We arrived in Ljubljana, where we only had a few evening hours that day to explore, but had a great time. Tivoli Park was beautiful and Isla had the best time at one of the best playgrounds we have seen. After the park, we headed into the center to try some Arabic/Lebanese food for the first time before turning in for the night. Tomorrow will be our only full day in Ljubljana and we are looking forward to exploring more.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience going to Vintgar Gorge! I'm also planning on going there this summer with my family. I'm especially worried about the "walking situation" back and forth the parking lot and I'm so happy to see your honest review of the whole experience! The gorge I'm sure was beautiful and you took a really great video despite having a toddler and a baby!

Thanks so much! Slovenia is so wonderful and was one of our favorite places. The gorge is so so beautiful and even the walk back was beautiful. But carrying kids on your back makes it a bit tougher than it should be. But I'm sure letting a 3-year-old walk would have been even tougher! Definitely arrive early and try to get a parking spot at the first parking lot rather than taking the shuttle and if you have young kids, probably plan to take a more leisurely and slow day than us. Maybe stop at the cute cafe on the walk back and grab some yummy dumplings. Hope your trip is magical!

I came back from Slovenia a month ago and really miss it. Sorry to hear about the rude couples while waiting for the bus. The lake bled cake was amazing! I initially shared with my friends but that soon changed to one pp. Great vlog
