You can walk both side around Mostnica Gorge and there is also several bridges which you can cross. The walk is a little less than 2 kilometres long, but allow at least an hour and a half return time, because you will probably stop a lot to take photos and admire beautiful views.
The walk is through woods and in some places you don’t actually get to see much of the river as the gorge is so deep and narrow. Image by Robert Wilson / CC BY 2.0
