Nestled in the Triglav National Park, Waterfall Pericnik is located just off the road from the Mojstrana village to the picturesque Vrata Valley. You will be wowed by the waterfall as it comes into view as you follow a short but relatively steep path through the woods from a parking area.
Waterfall Pericnik undergoes a dramatic transformation in winter, as this 52-metre-high waterfall freezes and transforms into a spectacular real-life magical ice kingdom.

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. |
