Savica Waterfall — Attraction in Bohinj

We went hiking to Savica Waterfall, and the trail was beautiful, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. However, we were slightly disappointed upon reaching the top. While the waterfall itself is impressive, the viewing area is quite limited. There's only a narrow pathway where tourists queue up to briefly admire the waterfall from behind a fence-like barrier, take a few photos, and then move on to make room for others. Unfortunately, there's no proper spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the view or eat a snack.

It would be nice if there were a bigger designated area where visitors could sit and chill while taking in the scenery. After the brief viewing, we had no choice but to head back down if we wanted to find a place to rest and eat. The natural beauty of the area and the waterfall is undeniable, but the experience could be improved with better facilities at the top.

For those who are visiting Slovenia for the first time, entry is paying as in most places in the country, even for natural sites. We paid 15.50€ for 2 adults...

One of the places in Slovenia that truly enchanted me. An absolutely stunning waterfall – I’d rate it much higher than the one in Logar Valley. That one is also easy to reach, but here the whole setting makes it special, especially if you combine the visit with a trip to Lake Bohinj, which is only about 15–20 minutes away by car. From the parking lot it’s then another 20-minute walk on a simple, unpaved trail to reach the falls.

The sight is breathtaking. Honestly, if I had more time, I could just sit there for hours staring at the water. At the entrance, you pay just a few euros, and there’s also a natural spring where you can drink fresh water straight from the tap – a really nice touch. The staff at the gate are friendly, and you can also pick up some small souvenirs there.

But the main attraction is of course the waterfall itself. It’s simply incredible, and I’d say a must-see if you’re...

Savica Waterfall is located at the very end (or beginning) of the Bohinj Lake valley. The water cascading from the waterfall continues as a river that feeds into the lake. The area around the waterfall itself is quite limited, with access to the water restricted, so expect to be in close quarters with other visitors during peak times. There is only one way to reach the waterfall—a forest path from the parking area. The entrance fee is €4 for adults during the season, and tickets can be purchased at the souvenir stand at the start of the trail. The hike to the waterfall takes about 20 minutes and involves climbing just over 500 steps. The waterfall typically stands at nearly 80 meters, but after heavy rainfall, the cascade can extend up to an impressive 600 meters. Visiting Savica Waterfall is an unforgettable experience that is well...
