Tolmin Gorges
Tolmin, Slovenia
Deep, narrow gorges where the Tolminka and Zadlaščica rivers meet, with a loop path, bridges and a thermal spring. Allow an hour; open from spring to autumn with an entry fee and a car park at the entrance.
Tolmin Gorges (Tolminska korita) near Tolmin in Slovenia lie where the rivers Tolminka and Zadlaščica meet. They form the lowest entrance to Triglav National Park; the confluence is at only 180 m above sea level. A circular trail leads through the gorges, including to the Devil's Bridge, about 60 m above the Tolminka, and to the Zadlaška Cave, also known as Dante's Cave. There is also a thermal spring whose water averages between 18.8 and 20.8 °C.
The paid car park P1 lies in front of the entrance (according to the tourism website from Easter Sunday to 30 September; as of October 2026), and there are also the free car parks P2 and P3, a walk of about 15 to 30 minutes away, plus a free shuttle bus in summer. Because entry is limited, you should buy tickets online in advance. The gorges stay open in rain and close only in exceptional cases, such as storms or high water.
