Poljana (Završnica) - Waterfall below Kurica

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, first take the Lesce exit, and then take the old road towards Žirovnice and Jesenice at the roundabout. After a few km of driving, pass the crossroads where the road branches off to the right towards the centre of Žirovnica. After crossing the Završnica viaduct, you will come to a right turn-off, which is where you should head (take a sharp right). Immediately afterwards, turn left at a small crossroads and right at the next one (after 50 m), in the direction of Završnica. After a short descent, the road briefly climbs a little and then flattens out, leading to a point where a macadam road branches off to the left towards Valvasor's home. Park in the new parking lot nearby, next to the reservoir, on the right-hand side of the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road past the accumulation lake and (later) the fenced grassy areas. The road loses its asphalt surface, and after about a kilometre walk from the starting point, you will come across a tributary of the Završnice River on the left side of the road, which you will recognise by a small bridge on the road, and a log cabin in the woods on the left, just above the road. Before the small bridge, take the cart track sign, which leads uphill to the (beekeeping) log cabin, and continue uphill through the woods along the right bank of the stream, or along the left side of the stream as seen from the route of the walk. The occasionally steep path leads us in a good 15-minute walk from the turn-off at the little bridge to the vicinity of the waterfall below Kurica. The view of the waterfall is particularly attractive in periods after heavi rainfall.
