Čezsoča - The Slatenik waterfall

Access to the starting point:
Drive into Bovec and then descend to the village of Čezsoča, where you turn left in the centre of the village towards Jablance. Follow the narrow asphalted road to where a macadam road branches off to the right up towards the valley of the Škrats. Follow this road for 100m to a roadside parking area.

Path description:
From the roadside parking lot, continue along the dirt road, which gets progressively worse and gradually turns into cart track. From the path, which mostly passes through the forest, we rarely get a view of the nearby Kanin massif and the Bovec basin. After a good hour's climb along the path, along which we see a few dilapidated shacks, we leave the cart track as the signs for the valley of the Škrats direct us down to the right. There follows a 10-minute descent along a pleasant wodland path surrounded by numerous garden gnomes ("gnomes"), which ends at a registration box on an old wooden house.
From the hut, continue along a slightly overgrown path which climbs only slightly past the last gnomes in the Valley of the Gnomes. The path crosses the Slatenik stream (the little bridge was destroyed on 18. 7. 2008) and then climbs steeply in the direction of the "waterfall". After a good 10 minutes the steepness eases and the path leads us to a nondescript side ridge, where it turns left. After a further few dozen steps, the path starts to descend a steep and slippery slope in the wet. The path, marked with faded markings, then leads to an unmarked crossroads, where a path branches off to the left to a waterfall, which we can already see in front of us, but which is still a few minutes' walk away. If you continue on the right path, which again starts to climb, you will reach the Slatenik stream bed, which is located just above the waterfall.
