Waterfalls The Pericnik Waterfall is one of the most well known waterfalls in Slovenia. It consists of the Upper and Lower waterfall. The Upper waterfall is high about 16 meters and the Lower waterfall is high about 52 meters. The maximum water flow is in autumn and in spring time. In winter time both waterfalls turn into innumerable floes and icicles in delicate shades of green and blue. Near the waterfall is a mountain hut called Koca pri Pericniku. The Pericnik Waterfall was created as a result of glacial activity in the Vrata Valley. During the retreat of the glaciers, glacial material was carried away by water and deposited further down the valleys. In Vrata, deposited material formed a conglomerate rock face which runs along the left bank of the Triglavska Bistrica river, stretching up to 100 meters in width. The conglomerate cliff is best seen in the location of Pericnik Fall, dropping over its rim. The fall's course changed several times. Above the Lower Pericnik Waterfall, the Upper Pericnik Waterfall also cut its way across the rim.
The Savica Waterfall is a wonderful waterfall in Bohinj valley. The best way to come to the waterfall is from the parking place by Koca pri Savici and Home Savica. We come there from Ukanc. Passing the Home Savica we follow the information sighns to the stony bridge over the Mala (Little) Savica. Here we pay in the wooden cottage contribution for maintenance of the road and we can also buy souvenirs. After that we continue the way after the stony stairs to the small wooden hut. Time of walking is about 20 minutes. In the cottage is a view to the Savica Waterfall, Bohinj and Vogel. Waterfall Savica is most visited and very well known Slovenian waterfall. The largest stream is in spring and autumn. The waterfall had celebrated in the poems the greatest Slovenian poet, France Preseren. Waterfall Savica is two part waterfall, which is in the shape of letter A. The smaller waterfall falls in the pool 25 metres deep. The height of the bigger side is about 78 metres. The Savica brook has two parts, which are Mala (Little) Savica and Velika (Great) Savica, on which is the Savica Waterfall. We can come to the waterfall also, if we turn right by the Koca pri Savici, but from this side is not so marvellous view.
At the end of the Voje valley are situated three waterfalls of Mostnica, which are falling over the interesting limy wall. If we also want to see the Mostnica Gorge it is best that we start the way from the parking place in the village Stara Fuzina. We can shorten the walk, if we park by the Planinska koca na Vojah Mountain Hut. The marked path leads us from here through all the Voje valley. The easy walking way lasts about one hour. The Mostnice Waterfall is located near the refreshment room Slap, where we can relax and enjoy in the beautiful views. The largest waterfall is the middle waterfall, which is called Waterfall Mostnice or Waterfall Voje and it is about 20 metres high and falls to the wonderful greenish pool. From here the water flows to the 5 metres high waterfall called Konjski rep. Just above the Mostnice Waterfall is the first waterfall, which is also 5 metres high. Above the all waterfalls is the slide waterfall, which is 15 metres high and flows on the mossy carpet.
Tominec waterfall is located in the road from the Trzic to the frontier Ljubelj. You turn in Podljubelj to the second road bridge to the right, over the bridge and straight over the macadam. You can live your car near the road bridge, where is also the signpost for the camp Ljubelj or you can drive to the waterfall about one kilometre. There is enough parking place by the sharp left turning. From there is to the waterfall only 50 metres. The road is marked with the board. The narrow foothpath goes after the left side of the White brook. After two minutes walking to the smaller steep slope you will come to the 18 metres high Tominec waterfall. First comes water by the canal, shortly afterwards it loses the contact with the stoneware and then comes into the lower lying pool. If there is too much water, we can not go under the waterfall and it is better that you use the foothpath which is in the right side of the brook.
