Itinerary description
Peričnik Waterfall
The highest twin in Slovenia!
Peričnik Waterfall with its 52m one of the highest among Slovenian waterfalls. There is a marked trail leading to it from Mojstrana. It is best to visit it on foot or by bike.
From the Peričnik mountain cabin from the board with all information about the waterfall you can reach the highest, lower waterfall in ten minutes. If you want to get to the other side behind or under the waterfall, be very careful since the path is wet and slippery.
You can also ascend to another, upper waterfall, but its height is only 16 meters.
Vrata Valley
The door to a mountain paradise.
The Vrata Valley (Door Valley) in the heart of the Julian Alps leads to the base of the northern wall of the Slovenian highest peak Triglav.
It is the largest glacial redesigned valley on the north side of the Julian Alps, stretching from Mojstrana to the foot of the North Wall. On the trail we first come to the two waterfalls with the common name Peričnik. From Peričnik to Vrata (the Door) the trail leads under the »Galleries«. The Galleries are the hollowed and sometimes overhanging conglomerate rocks, hollowed-out and eroded by the stream, which today runs deep below.
The Vrata Valley can also be seen if you are not a mountaineer. The valley can either be reached from Mojstrana along a gravel road and partly tarmac road, or along a footpath – Triglavska Bistrica trail.
The ‘Aljažev dom’ mountain hut in the Vrata Valley is the starting point for trips and mountain tours to Mount Triglav, as well as to the Škrlatica Mountain, Stenar Mountain, and the Kriški podi plateau.
