Tolmin troughs

Two rivers, named after Tolmin and the small village of Zadlaz, slowly but surely carved deep, darkly mysterious troughs into the solid limestone.When the narrow gorges open up a bit, the Tolminka and Zadlaščica rivers unite their gorges and their confluence is therefore very rare, even the only such natural phenomenon in Slovenia.

• Bear's Head - a large, wedged rock between the walls of the Zadlaščica canyon
• Devil's Bridge, stretched 60 m high above the Tolminka River
• Zadlaška or Dante's cave and Duga Baba
• thermal spring with an average temperature between 18.8 °C and 20.8 °C in the cave under the Devil's Bridge
• Confluence of Tolminka and Zadlaščica, the lowest point of Triglav National Park

In the center of Tolmin, turn left towards Zatolmin. Follow the signs to the Tolmin troughs. Park in one of the designated parking lots.

A visit restriction has been introduced to enter the Tolmin troughs. Entry is only allowed to a certain number of visitors in each time slot, so it is recommended to buy tickets in advance.Possibility to buy tickets at the link https://www.soca-valley.com/sl/predstavitev-znamenitosti/tolminska-korita/cenik/
