Vintgar Gorge
[1] Until 1890, the gorge was mainly inaccessible, except for two points at which the Radovna could be reached, and a bridge over Šum Falls was already built in 1878.[2] The rest of the gorge was explored in 1891 by the mayor of Gorje, Jakob Žumer, and by Benedikt Lergetporer, a prominent photographer of the era.[3] In 1893 the gorge was equipped with wooden observation walkways and bridges with great effort[1] and was opened to the public on August 26, 1893.[3] The walkways, which were later named Žumer Galleries (Žumrove galerije) in the most prominent part of the gorge,[1] have been renovated several times since.[5] Another explanation claims that it derives from the German name Weingarten 'vineyard', referring to vineyards in Podhom or to the gorge resembling a wine glass in shape.
