RE: Vintgar Gorge / Vintgar Klamm (Slovenia)
You might be completely right - tourists have often no other choice, if they want to see something. This gorge is not that far away from me, just about 1 hour driving - I will try it one day in late Autumn.
Yes, unfortunately the gorge is closed in Winter, because it is to dangerous.
How do they close a gorge sir johannpiber? that would take a very big gate.
A big gate would be an idea, @janton, but not needed. When I have been there a few months ago, the gate was still closed:

Of course you could find a way to pass this gate, and I am sure, many people do so, but I don't ;)
I think you might need to break the rules for the sake of your followers sir johannpiber! lol.
Maybe I will, who knows, what will be in the next Winter? There are still a few months to go by, and maybe they will open the gate if I ask politely 😉
Maybe the winter will be so mild and warm that they don't close it. Nah, they will follow their own policies. you might have to resort to breaking the rules! lol.
In the winter they repair the wooden paths and bridges. They look if any rocks are loose on the rockfaces and repair these too.
I don't think, they open in winter, because in wintertime there are not so many tourists there either.
I think that would be a fun job except for the cold! you guys are cold over there! But still I think that would be interesting. Especially with no stupid tourists around!
In the cold we have hats and gloves and thick pullovers ;)
I think, I'll try another visit at the end of September or maybe in October, because the Autumn colors of the trees might be better in October.
