Description & Geography
The waterfall Orličje (also known as Orglice) lies in the canopy of the picturesque valley of the Kamniška Bela stream. Situated at an altitude of 790 m, it falls along a gentle rock crevice that plunges into a nearby rock wall into a small pool.
Combined with a small jump at the top, which falls into a fissure invisible from below, the total height is approximately 40 m. The watercourse is torrential; in dry months, the riverbed is empty, leaving only damp walls.
Above the waterfall is the Kamendol area. Few people know that 350 m higher in the off-road terrain lies the 50 m high two-stage Waterfall Nad Kamendolom. Large fallen blocks from below Zeleniške špice serve as a reminder of the terrain's instability.
VIRTUAL EXCURSION (360°)
Access
(1.) Via Stream: Just before Kamniška Bistrica, take the first path right, before the stone bridge over the Kamniška Bela gorge (Pred Belo). After 20 min of walking under steep peaks (Kamniški Dedec, Rzenik), you reach a crossroads. Follow the left branch along the sinking stream.
(2.) Comfortable path: Immediately after the bend following the stone bridge (direction Kamniška Bistrica), take the right footpath turn. Caution! Danger of collision when parking! This path leads above the right bank of the stream to a cart track.
