Hrušica - Dobršnik waterfalls

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Karawanke Tunnel, we take the last exit Hrušica, then turn right towards Jesenice. After a few 100 meters of driving, we come to an intersection, where we turn left uphill through the right bend. At the top of the hill another intersection awaits us, where we again choose the left direction (a signpost for Dobršnik stands here too). After a further 200 meters of driving, on the right we notice a bus stop, immediately behind it the road which branches off to the right towards the apartment blocks. Here, nearby at a suitable place, we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot (e.g. on the right near the apartment block), we continue on the road which goes straight uphill through the right turn. Already immediately at the top of the turn we notice a road which leads left among houses (street). We take it in that direction, and after 100 m (end of the street), we turn left downhill along the small hill, almost to the stream. We don't cross it, but at the last house on the right we step onto the cart track which leads into the forest (it looks like a private path).
In the forest at the junction we stick to the lower - left path, which runs along the stream. After a few minutes' walk the path crosses the stream and despite its ruin already in 20 min from the starting point we reach the first 3-level, 9 meters high waterfall, which descends somewhat diagonally down the rock face.
On the left we can now notice the path which rises towards the rocks in two small zigzags. We step onto it, and after a few steps we grab the rock beside it to climb to the top of the path leading to the second - 10 meter picturesque waterfall. Next to it on the left wall we will notice remains of torn safety gear, and steps carved into the rock (don't try to climb - wet rocks!).
We return towards the first waterfall, but before approaching it, we turn right into the steep gully or leaf-covered scree - or chute, which rises increasingly vertically. Here there is no indicated path, so it is best to carefully watch for traces of our predecessors. To the left, somewhat aside from the mentioned chute, the walking is a bit easier, so we preferably continue there. On the slope we will carefully ascend for quite some time more, avoiding wet tree roots, after which somewhat above the "chute" we will notice a fallen beech trunk. Next to it we will now more easily cross the slope to the right towards the edge of the Dobršnik stream canyon, which winds deep below us. Here on the edge (+/- a few m) we carefully choose a vantage point. We will spot the waterfall somewhat above our horizon in the northern direction. On the descent we will need some carefulness.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
