:: The Kozjak waterfall ::

The Kozjak is the left tributary of the Soča river. Its water is collected from several small streams (the Obevnik) under the peaks Obli Brdo (1957 m), Krnčica (2142m), and Srednji Vrh (2134m). It makes six cascades on its way to the Soča, and the most famous one is the Kozjak waterfall which is15 meters high.

The waterfall has sunk a big underground cave with a picturesque dark green pool at the bottom. This natural cave gives the impression of karst caves. There is another 8 meter high waterfall named Mali Kozjak further down the stream, right under the stone bridge built in 1895. 

You can reach the Kozjak waterfall from Kobarid by crossing the Soča river in the direction of Drežnica, and following the “Kozjak” signs and ruins from the WW I. From here you take the path on foot, passing the ruins from the WW I and crossing the stone bridge above the Mali Kozjak waterfall. Then it is just a short walk along a well-trodden path. 

This visit is recommended.

The Beri waterfall

:: The Beri waterfall ::
 

The stream Godiča is the first left tributary after the tributary Tolminka, colleting its water from Tolmin Triglav. The access to the waterfall is rather easy compared to the wild area of the Beri waterfall. After passing wild and threatening scree you will be impressed by the magic beauty of the surrounding of the waterfall, which is 25 metres high. There is another 15 metre high waterfall named Mali Beri above it.

The waterfall can be reached by taking the Tolmin road in the direction of the village Poljubinj, and crossing the bridge over the stream Godiča. It takes about 30 minutes on foot from Poljubin along the right side of the Godiča, following the “Slap Beri” signs. This path is covered on several places by torrential mountain gorges.

There are another two waterfalls, 104 and 88 metres high, under the village Vrsno. They belong to the group of the biggest Slovenian waterfalls. The access to these waterfalls is rather difficult.
