13km Rafting and 250m Zipline Over the Sava — Bled Adventure
Float, paddle, and fly: a 13 km rafting run on the Sava finishes with two 250 m ziplines above the river. Expect playful rapids, mountain views, and a four-hour adventure base in Radovljica near Bled.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Even though shoes are provided, bring a snug pair you trust—socks or laces that won’t slip make paddling and exiting the raft safer.
Bring a small dry bag
Store your phone, keys, and a light jacket in a 3–5L dry bag to keep them safe during rapids and on the zipline platform.
Hydrate before you go
Four hours of activity at altitude and in cold water is deceptively tiring—drink water and have a carbohydrate snack beforehand.
Secure photography gear
If you plan action shots, use a wrist strap or chest harness and only photograph at guide-approved moments to avoid accidents.
