Mostnica Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

🏞️ Mostnica Gorge (Korita Mostnice)

A gorge about two kilometers long, which the Mostnica stream has sawn into the limestone above Stara Fužina – up to 20 m deep in places, but only a few meters wide. The emerald-green water has left behind whirlpools, basins, and smooth rock formations; the best known is the "Slonček", a rock in the shape of a small elephant that seems to be drinking. The entrance is formed by the stone Devil's Bridge (Hudičev most) from the 18th century. The gorge is located in Triglav National Park and is accessible from both sides via forest paths.

▫️ Admission at a ticket booth, cash only
▫️ Almost empty before 9:30 am, very busy from midday
▫️ Paths with roots and smooth limestone – be careful when wet
▫️ The Voje Valley with its alpine hut, Kropa Waterfall and Mostnica Waterfall connects at the top

Stone Bridge over the Mostnica River

Highlight • Bridge

Old stone bridge on the photo is quite small and nothing special. But another bridge," Hudičev most" (Devil's Bridge), much closer to Bohinj, as well as the trail leading up to it, is definitly worth a visit, if you are in Bohinj for more than a day. Just looking down from the bridge to the crystally clear, emerald water is spectacular, but if you are sufficiently athletic and want to have the ultimate experience, go canyoning here and swim in this scenic environment, together with rainbow trout, which don't seem to mind too much your company. I know that one operator in Bohinj (Pac Sports) is running this trip, and they will provide all necessary equipment and guides. I've done it and it was one of my best experiences ever. If you can, take the earliest morning tour available (around 8 a.m.), when eerie mists hang above the water surface and give this deep, narrow canyon an enchanted feeling, straight out from a fairy tale.

Elephant Head Rock (Slonček) – Mostnica Gorge

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "elephant head" is a rock formation in the Mostnica stream bed. For us the most beautiful or most striking place. In general, the "elephant head" is one of a generally very beautiful, picturesque streambed area with hollows, pools - with turquoise-blue water.

View of the Mostnica Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The gorge is famous for the many geological shapes carved out by the river, including one that resembles a small elephant sucking water from the river. There is a trail on both sides of the gorge that is perfect for hiking.
