Virje waterfall

If you're traveling along the emerald river Soča (Slovenia), you definitely don't want to miss out on this spectacular waterfall named Virje Waterfall. this multi-stranded waterfall is created by the Glijun stream and fed by the subterranean waters of the Kanin mountain range. The waterfall is only 12 meters high but can be very powerful in springtime. However, it also can run almost dry in the dry season. Therefore, the best time to visit this waterfall is after heavy rainfall or late springtime when there is a lot of melted snow.

Under the Virje Waterfall, there is a bright green pool, caught between lush growth and moss-covered rocks. The pool is almost as loved as the waterfall, by both locals and visitors. Visiting this waterfall, you can enjoy the beauty of the emerald green pool and take a swim in the refreshing water. However, the water could be quite cold and not very pleasant for some people. A little further down, the stream flows into the Soča river.

You can go to the Virje Waterfall from Bovec city, but there're no signs, so navigation and local guides could be a big help. From the parking lot, you can already see the waterfall, and the walk from there is very easy.

Location: Goriška – Tolmin, Slovenia.
