Access to starting point:

We drive from Kobarid towards Bovec or inversely. We park on a parking lot in front of or behind the bridge.

Path description:

As we leave the parking place, we take the road that will lead us through the riverbed. Soon, an unmarked path branches off that leads to a point with a fine view of the waterfall, but we continue along the river bank upwards. At first, the road is visible and easy to follow, but soon we reach water. We continue on the left side of the river (left bank) and as the gorge narrows, the path disappears. The demanding part of the trip begins: jumping over water and rocks or walking on them. Careful – the rock are wet and slippery and the water unpredictable and rushing! As we overcome this part, a nice passage opens up on the right side. We can see a partly trodden path, which we follow until it leads us back to the river. Our ascent becomes difficult again. There will be climbing and jumps from one rock to another (don’t jump if you won’t be able to climb back!) We can use the help of a rope, if we have brought it along. We spot a nice passage on the left, but it can be dangerous, because of the crumbly grounds. Beware of the rock falls! As we get closer to the waterfall it starts to sprinkle and the wind is blowing. If we wish to go directly to the waterfall, we have to descend from the top of the scree to the water. Because of the moisture in the air, the breathing can be harder. A very beautiful, but dangerous trip. Orientation – difficult.
