Boka Waterfall
3 PodklopcaThe most water-rich and mightiest waterfall in Slovenia, with a total height of 144 metres and width of 18 metres, is also one of the most majestic waterfalls in Europe.
The magical corner next to the Virje Waterfall is the right location for lovers of relaxation, people in love and photographers.
The Glijun stream, which is fed by the subterranean waters of the Kanin mountain range, falls into a 20 metre wide and 12-metre-high multi-stranded waterfall, underneath which a charming pool of green emerges, caught between lush growth and moss-covered rocks. Even though the Virje Waterfall invites summer refreshment, the water is icy cold and bathing in the pool under the waterfall is not allowed. The waterfall is an incredible pearl of nature, so we preserve its beauty for posterity.

The largest Slovenian high mountain lake and a popular mountaineering spot, Krnsko jezero lake lies at a height of 1,391 metres.
Put on your hiking boots and step onto a trail, where you will be overwhelmed by the colourful mountainous freshness.
The lake of glacial origin lies underneath Krn (2,244 m), not far from the Planinski dom pri Krnskih jezerih mountain lodge (1,385 m), the planina Duplje alpine meadow and the Dupeljsko jezero lake. It is considered to have some of the most beautiful scenery in the Julian Alps.
Bathing is not allowed in the lake in order to preserve the ecosystem.
Seize the moment and enjoy the view, which expands towards Krn and the surrounding peaks. In the shelter of these mountains, next to the lake, a real paradise of plants awaits you. The surroundings of the lake are full of vividly colourful alpine flowers, among which endangered species, such as the yellow Kerner Alpine Poppy (P. alpinum subsp. kerneri), aconite (Aconitum angustifolium) and white cottongrass (Eriophorum scheuchzeri) thrive.
The immensely beautiful nature around Krn and Krnsko jezero lake once witnessed the bloody events of the Isonzo front and the dark period of the Rapallo border. The remains of trenches, caverns and barbed wire remind us of the Isonzo front battles
