As we wrote, there are two ways to get back to the parking lot. The first route is shorter, but more strenuous, while the second one leads slightly upwards, through a beech forest, to a church built at the beginning of the 15th century. There is a rest area at the top where you can have a drink and eat a great apple roll. The path continues across open meadows to the parking lot.
Before the entrance to Vintgar there is a parking lot for which you have to pay 5 euros. In September, the park is open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and in October from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Entrance fee to the gorge is 10 euros for adults, 2 euros for children and 3 euros for pets.
