Savica waterfall

Your time spent in Slovenia would not be complete without a day trip to one of the country's greatest waterfalls - the Savica Waterfall. This breathtaking waterfall is hidden amidst the steep walls of the Triglav National Park, fed by the waters from the Valley of the Triglav Lakes, and is the source of the Sava Bohinjka. It is known under the name of Savica to the spot where it flows into Lake Bohinj.

The Savica Waterfall is also one of a kind - each drop of the waterfall is doubled and creates the most unique natural phenomenon in the world since the waterfall springs up in the open amidst the steep wall, then elegantly drops in two sections 78 meters down into the green water basin, create a unique A-shape. It is a very inspirational sight that has often been written about by well-known Slovenian poets and writers. For example, it was imortalised by Slovene poet France Prešeren in his poem 'Krst pri Savici'.

To reach the Savica Waterfall, it is approximately 30 minutes walk up a thickly forested slope. The waterfall is usually accessed from the Savica lodge, accessible from the western part of Lake Bohinj. Alternatively, you can drive approx 4 km from Ukanc and park at the small hut near the entrance. Is necessary to pay an entrance fee to see the waterfall.

Location: Bohinjsko jezero, Slovenia.
