Waterfalls of Slovenia

Suha (Bohinj)

Description

The right affluent of Mostnica deserves much more attention than it currently receives. While the lower part of the stream flows through water channels and smaller skippers, the upper part features a waterfall that could be world-famous.

Waterfall of Suha, which I named "The Great Tufa", might be the highest tufa waterfall in the world. From its spring, the stream flows on a steep slope (25 m), then reaches a precipice where it falls another 80 m. The total height is 105 m (344 ft).

Approach

From Bohinjsko jezero go to Stara Fužina. Turn left before the wooden bridge to reach the parking lot. Follow the road toward Voje for about 30 min. At the junction, turn left toward the Great Tufa. The road leads right to the bottom of the waterfall (approx. 60–90 min total walk). No special equipment is needed.
