Peričnik Falls

Waterfall Kranjska Gora, Jesenice, Slovenia

What to expect

The Peričnik Waterfall is one of the most famous waterfalls in Slovenia, located in the heart of the Triglav National Park. It is a popular excursion point in the alpine Vrata Valley and is protected as a natural heritage site. The waterfall has a unique feature of changing its path over time, which can be seen in the form of grooves in the conglomerate wall. Visitors can walk behind the waterfall, making it a special kind of world heritage site. The area is home to beautiful beech and spruce forests, and the waterfall is at its most enchanting in spring when the melting of winter snow makes the water even more watery and increases the power of the cascade
