Access to starting point:
From Vrhnika or Podpeči we drive to the village of Borovnica. Here we turn towards the village Brezovica pri Borovnici. Immediately when the road with the underpass crosses the railway track, we turn right. We follow this road to the parking lot at the end of the road.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the tourist path, which goes past the signs where the valley is described, initially across a meadow. The path soon crosses the stream over a bridge. After some time, again over the bridge back to the right bank. The path then starts to ascend slightly and brings us to the smallest, barely 4 meters high 1st waterfall. The path then ascends and brings us to the junction. Left over the bridge is the second waterfall, to which it is 30 meters. We return to the junction, where we now head towards the third waterfall. During the ascent, steep well-secured stairs help us, which soon bring us to the third waterfall. Here stands a smaller dilapidated table from which there is a nice view towards the waterfall, which falls into a smaller pond.
Along the route: Soteska Pekel 1.slap (380m), Soteska Pekel 2.slap (410m)

Given the prolonged low temperatures, I assume there's an "ice fairy tale" in Soteska Pekel! Please provide information if anyone has been there in the last few days and up to which waterfall it is still safely passable? Thanks in advance and cold regards!

Thanks for the reply regarding conditions in Pekel. But ice climbing is not for everyone (especially not for me), I'd like to visit the gorge on foot.

All ice climbers return on foot via the path. Just need to watch where you step, otherwise no panic.
