Peričnik Falls & Vrata Valley
Slap Peričnik / Dolina Vrata
A two-tiered waterfall at the entrance to the Vrata Valley, where you can walk behind the upper curtain of water. From the valley floor, you can get a close look at the north face of Triglav.
Peričnik Falls lies near Mojstrana at the mouth of the Vrata Valley. It has an upper and a lower tier, and the lower fall drops about 52 m. A path leads behind the upper curtain of water, which feels refreshingly cool in summer. Continue by car about 8 km up the valley to the Aljažev dom mountain hut, where you can gaze up at the north face of Triglav, a rock wall about 1,000 m high and one of Slovenia's most spectacular. In summer the valley road is narrow and parking costs money, and some sections are closed to private cars at peak times, so consider the shuttle bus. The falls are about 35 km from Bled and can be combined with Kranjska Gora and the Slovenian Alpine Museum on the same route.
