Šumik waterfalls

In the heart of Pohorje’s jungle, the Lobnica stream runs through a wonderful gorge - a wild, steep, and full of moist rocks covered with moss, and jumps over two picturesque waterfalls on its way to the Drava valley. These two harmonious waterfalls are Šumik Waterfalls, and they are two of the most beautiful waterfalls in Slovenia. The two waterfalls actually have their own names, which are Veliki Šumik (meaning the Great Šumik) and Mali Šumik (meaning the Small Šumik).

Šumik Waterfalls is a must-see spot for visitors who want to hike in the primeval forest of the Natural Park Pohorje. In fact, many people put these waterfalls on top of their list when traveling to Slovenia. If you look at the picture of these waterfalls, you'll understand why they are so famous. The waterfalls give off a mysterious feeling for visitors as if they've just wandered into an untouched ancient forest. Therefore, a walk to the waterfalls will absolutely amaze adventure seekers who admire pristine natural surroundings.

Šumik waterfalls can be reached after a short descent between the steep slopes along the Lobnica stream, but the trail to the waterfalls is rather difficult. However, at the end of the trail, you will be rewarded with a truly fantastic scene of unspoiled nature.
