- Description
-
The circular tour through the Koseč Gorges is a relatively short trip through the wonderful intact nature. The access to the Koseč Gorges is extremely difficult, which is why you can only visit the arranged section. Start the tour in the village of Koseč in the vicinity of the village of Drežnica. The arranged hiking trail is routed past the Church of St. Just and along the Stopnik Stream which created several high waterfalls. The trail provides relaxation in the embrace of the forest and a chance to rest on energetic points. On the return, you can also refresh yourself in the village of Koseč at the Tourist Farm Kranjc and complete the tour with a visit to the nearby waterfalls Sopota and Krampež. During the summer months (from the middle of June to the end of August), there is a Hop On Hop Off shuttle bus running to the village of Koseč.

Continue descending along the stream, help yourself with steel ropes to ascend from the riverbed, and continue until you arrive to energetic points. Return to the village of Koseč.
