Access to starting point:
Access from Most na Soči: From Most na Soči we head towards Idrija to the village Bača pri Modreju, where we head towards Podbrdo. We follow the road to the village Kneža, where we turn left in the direction of Podmelec and Ljubinj. Soon after the village Podmelec we will notice signs for the waterfall on the right side of the road, and a parking lot on the left, where we park. Access is also possible from Tolmin, where we drive through Poljubinj and Ljubinj to the starting point.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we cross the road and ascend on a marked path through a meadow at moderate incline to the forest, where we encounter pleasant benches and a spring. The path ahead crosses slopes for some time, then starts to ascend steeply along a well-made path, which on steeper sections is secured with a wooden fence. Only a little further we spot the waterfall, to which we have only a few steps left. In front of the waterfall there is an arranged viewpoint, and we can extend the path to the healing water, which is located to the left of the waterfall. A very short secured path leads to the source of the healing water.

I was there today too (12.8.2009). Nice and uncrowded. The parking lot for the village is nicely arranged and empty. best regards

As the predecessor mentioned, wonderful in these parts, at this time part in snow and ice that sparkles in the afternoon sun. Truly unique! Photos added under Kobilja glava (current conditions) and Slovenski slapovi vodotokov (general discussions)

Is it the same path to the Slap Sopota source (as to the waterfall) or is there another path to the source? I have the feeling that the source of Slap Sopota is more towards Ljubin.

Let me also say that the waterfall is beautiful! But I think after rain... We went from the Podmelec train station (good half hour walk); to the main road, right and immediately across the road up the hill. The path leads higher to the village of Podmelec. We extended the trip by train to Most na Soči, which is the next station right away (there it's a good km walk from the station to Most na Soči).
