About thirty meters above today's stone dam above the fifth waterfall stood the mill of the villagers of Zavrha. The mill operated until 1942, when the Italians threw the millstones from the hinges and burned the building.

Pristava Hamlet

Highlight • Settlement

Passing the rocky outcrop of "Kozlové gradu", with a wonderful view, we descend through the village of Pristava again into the Hell's gorge (the path flows into the valley near the guest house) (45 min) or we continue to the left towards Padež and Pokojišče and from there descend to Borovnica ( 1 hour 15 minutes). It takes 3 hours from Pokojišče to Logatac, 2.5 hours to Cerknica, and here you can also walk partly along the European footpath E-7.

September 19, 2023,❤️ Slovenija ❤️ Fünf Wasserfälle in der Höllenschlucht - Soteska Pekel

5.5 km looks like a short hike, but the first 2 km were just steep climbs over paths, ladders, rock faces... The tour is absolutely premium and very adventurous. Five waterfalls between 16 and 26 m high plunge through rocky clefts into a wild gorge. Not found in any travel guides.
