Mostnica Gorge
Narrow alpine gorge carved by Mostnica stream
Mostnica Gorge, nestled in the heart of Bohinj, is a striking natural wonder that invites visitors to explore its dramatic alpine landscape. Carved over millennia by the clear waters of the Mostnica stream, the gorge stretches for about two kilometers, with its narrow passages, uniquely sculpted rocks, and crystal-clear pools creating a picturesque scene at every turn. The sound of rushing water accompanies you along the well-marked hiking trail, which winds through the gorge and continues into the tranquil Voje Valley.
As you walk, you’ll encounter a rich variety of flora and fauna, with moss-covered stones, wildflowers, and occasional glimpses of local wildlife. The gorge is especially enchanting in autumn, when the surrounding forests turn golden and herds of cows graze in the valley, reflecting the area’s traditional alpine culture.
The trail leads to a scenic waterfall at the end of Voje Valley, providing a rewarding destination for hikers and photographers alike. Along the way, you’ll find several wooden bridges that offer excellent vantage points for admiring the gorge’s turquoise waters and dramatic rock formations.
Mostnica Gorge is easily accessible from the village of Stara Fužina, making it a popular excursion for visitors to Lake Bohinj. While there are no specific details on opening hours or admission fees, the gorge remains a must-see for anyone seeking natural beauty and peaceful hiking in Slovenia’s Julian Alps.
