Peričnik is a waterfall in the Gorenjska region, in the Vrata valley above Mojstrana in the Julian Alps. It is one of the best-known falls in Slovenia, and a path leads behind the curtain of water, so you can look out through it. It is a short walk up from the road into the Vrata valley.
Martuljek Falls (Martuljški slapovi) are a pair of waterfalls on the Martuljek stream, set in a forested gorge beneath the Martuljek group of the Julian Alps. They are worth a visit for the walk through the gorge and the views of the falling water against the mountain backdrop. The trail starts near the village of Gozd Martuljek in the Upper Sava Valley in Gorenjska, between Kranjska Gora and Mojstrana, and is a forest hike with some steeper sections.
Martuljek Falls are a pair of waterfalls in the Martuljek mountain group of the Julian Alps, in the Gorenjska region above the Upper Sava Valley. The Martuljek stream drops through a narrow gorge set beneath steep limestone peaks, which makes the walk worth it. The falls are reached on a forest trail from the village of Gozd Martuljk, between Kranjska Gora and Mojstrana.
Slemenova špica is a grassy mountain viewpoint in the Julian Alps of the Gorenjska region, reached from the Vršič pass above Kranjska Gora. It is known for its open view of the surrounding peaks, including the north face of Jalovec. The approach is a moderate hike on mountain paths through larch meadows, suited to walkers with basic mountain experience.
Peričnik is a short walk from the car park and can be walked behind; the path is wet all year. The upper Martuljek fall is a steep hour above the lower one — boots, not sandals. The Vršič road is closed in winter and after heavy snow; Slemenova špica is a two-hour round trip from the top of the pass.
