Route Description
How many of you have heard of the Grmečica Waterfall? This beautiful Slovenian pearl is hidden well in the embrace of nature and it blew us away. Slovenia is indeed a country of a thousand waterfalls.
The access is by road that goes from Bled to Bohinj. The starting point of the route is just before the village of Bohinjska Bistrica, near the village of Nomenj, where the bus station, railway station and the Gostilna pri Matičku Inn are located. However, there are no marked parking spaces. The 20-minute walk takes you through the underpass under the railway line, where you look for the signs that say “Grmečica” and “Emin plavž”. After crossing a footbridge, turn right. A few steps back is a turnoff to the left up the hill, where you can access the upper waterfalls.
Interesting Facts
The waterfall is officially 8 meters (26 feet) high, but if we add all its levels, it is altogether 19 meters (62 feet) high. It is located on the stream of the same name, which descends steeply from the Jelovica Plateau towards the Sava Bohinjka River. The picturesque waterfall has a big water flow and is quite loud under normal hydrological conditions.

Mila and Staš Recommend
We kids love it if a family trip ends with a jump into the swimming pool. Aquapark Bohinj is an ideal opportunity for the whole family to enjoy the fun. They even have a salt room, which is great for all people with respiratory problems.
