FOLLOW THE RIVER’S PATH IN WILD GORGES
In canyoning we follow the river’s path down through the canyon. We swim in crystal clear pools and descend down waterfalls. Canyoning offers unique views of the valley – completely different to what we see from above. Navigating such environments is not without its challenges which is why your safety is our top priority!
Expect professional equipment and highly trained guides.
An Unforgettable Experience for You and Your Family
The famous canyon is located a 30-minute drive from our starting point, the village of Soča. From there, we hike for 40 minutes to the entry point. We walk along a trail built during World War I—don’t forget to ask your guide to tell you more about its history!
Nicely warmed up, we reach the entry point. Here, we put on our gear, and your guide will give you a safety briefing with everything you need to know to feel secure in the canyon.
Get ready to enjoy numerous smaller waterfalls where we slide or jump. We save the highest waterfall for the very end, where we use a rope. Keep in mind that Sušec is an open canyon, which means you can bypass any waterfall if you do not feel ready for it. If you and your family love nature as much as we do, try spotting some canyon wildlife, such as frogs, salamanders, or fish. And if you are lucky, you might even see a snake!
After an exciting 1.5 hours, we head back to the van. Look at your children and see the spark in their eyes!
We are sure these moments will remain a topic of your conversations for a long time to come.

Fratarica was the first canyon we fell in love with!
The stream that forms the vertical canyon of Fratarica is located in the Triglav National Park in Log pod Mangartom. This canyon is perfect for beginners. We will jump, abseil, slide, and hike a few times. It is the perfect place to prepare for more challenging canyons!

On the way up, you will spot the waterfalls, filling you with anticipation for the fun ahead. At the entry point, you put on your equipment, and our guide will brief you on everything you need to know to feel safe in the canyon. From that moment on, you can completely immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you.

Willkommen im Tal der hundert Wasserfälle!
Der Bach Predelica (oder Predelnica) stürzt vom Predilpass steil hinab bis zum Dorf Log pod Mangartom. Beim Canyoning in der oberen Predelica genießen Sie unglaubliche 11 Wasserfälle, in denen Sie rutschen, springen und sich abseilen können! Die Wasserfälle sind hier höher und ausgesetzter, weshalb die Obere Predelica ein mittelschweres Canyoning-Erlebnis ist.
Wir lassen den Kombi auf dem Parkplatz stehen, wo die Straße zum Mangart (die höchste Straße in Slowenien) beginnt. Nach einer leichten, 20-minütigen Wanderung stoßen wir auf eine der Gumpen, die „Smaragdauge“ genannt wird, und steigen dort in den Canyon ein.
Die natürliche Schönheit dieses Canyons ist schlichtweg unglaublich, mit seinem smaragdgrünen Wasser, den weißen Felsen und den grünen Wäldern. Die Wasserfälle reichen von kleinen bis hin zu spektakulären; tatsächlich endet unser Canyoning-Abenteuer Obere Predelica mit einem wilden, 33 Meter hohen, senkrechten Wasserfall!
Wir müssen ehrlich zu Ihnen sein: Wahrscheinlich wird Ihnen die 40-minütige Wanderung zurück zum Auto nicht gefallen, aber daran werden Sie sich nicht mehr erinnern, wenn Sie Ihren Freunden von Ihrem Tag erzählen! Das ist wirklich ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, das Sie nicht verpassen sollten!
