The Pericnik is a stunning and very photographic waterfall in Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps of Slovenia. It is located in the Vrata valley, some 5 kilometres (3 miles) southeast of the village of Mojstrana, in the northwestern corner of Slovenia.
There are actually two waterfalls, the lower one being one of the highest in Slovenia with its 52-meter drop. The upper waterfall is only 16 meters high. The special feature of both waterfalls is that we can walk behind them and see them from another perspective, from behind.

Pericnik Waterfall is also very famous for its winter beauty. When the temperature drops, water freeze and the waterfall is covered with icicles dropping from the rock. Quite a sight! Very appreciated by landscape photographers. (photo: Ales Zdesar, Arhiv Javni Zavod Triglavski Narodni Park, Slovenia.info)

Overall Rating: Waterfall Pericnik is another delightful waterfall in the Triglav National Park, located in the gorgeous mountain valley of Vrata, a few minutes drive from the village of Mojstrana. The waterfall is stunning and very photographic, it drops a spectacular 52 meters and is one of the highest waterfalls in Slovenia. The unique thing about Pericnik is that you can walk behind the waterfall, and if you don’t mind being sprayed with mist, you can descend right down to the pool at its base. |
