Tolmin Gorges
Tolminska korita
The lowest entrance to Triglav National Park, where two streams meet in narrow gorges, with the Devil's Bridge suspended high above.
The Tolmin Gorges are the lowest entrance to Triglav National Park, at about 180 m above sea level. The Tolminka and Zadlaščica rivers meet in deep limestone gorges. A loop of about 1.5 hours passes the thermal spring outflow, the 'Bear's Head' boulder wedged in the gorge, and the Devil's Bridge about 60 m above the water. A side route leads to a cave said to have inspired Dante. The gorges are open roughly April to October. Admission is about 8 to 10 euros. The trail has many steps, so wear non-slip shoes. The gorges are about 2 km from Tolmin town and 30 km from Bovec.
Opening hours
Approx. Apr–Oct, 9:00–18:00 (extended hours in summer)
