Savica Waterfall
(Slap Savica; Ukanc; adult/child €2.50/1.25; 9am-6pm Jul & Aug, 9am-5pm Apr-Jun,
Sep & Oct; )
The magnificent Savica Waterfall, which cuts deep into a gorge 60m be-
low, is 4km from the Hotel Zlatorog in Ukanc and can be reached by footpath from there.
Cars continue via a paved road to a car park beside the Savica restaurant, from where it's
a 20-minute walk up more than 500 steps and over rapids and streams to the falls.
The falls are among the most impressive sights in the Julian Alps, especially after
heavy rain, but bring something waterproof or you may be soaked by the spray.
