Wild Waterfalls in a Wild Gorge
"Wild waterfalls in a wild gorge" are the right words for the waterfalls of Ilovec and its left tributary Nakel. A lot of rubble is everywhere and the path seemed to be unpleasant, but the noise of the falling water is a joy to hear! Nakel brook has a series of cascades and waterfalls with heights up to 7 m.
| Lower Ilovec: | 8 m waterfall |
| Nakel Tributary: | Cascades up to 7 m |
| Upper Ilovec: | 5 m waterfall |
| Location: | Log pod Mangartom |
Access Information
Upper part & Nakel: Most recommended from the sharp turn of the road from Log pod Mangartom to Strmec. There is a rut right at the corner with enough space for parking. The rut leads above the Ilovec brook and joins the trail after 10 min. To reach Nakel, a rubble slope of 50 m must be passed. Boots are strongly recommended.
Lower part: Recommended access from Log pod Mangartom. At the end of the village, follow the road to the upper part of the Koritnica valley. Before the small bridge over the Ilovec, turn left; the 8 m waterfall is reached after a 30-minute walk.
