Picturesque and wild gorges, the lowest entry point in the Triglav National Park.

The Tolmin Gorge is a common name for the Tolminka and Zadlaščica Gorges, which are one of the most magnificent natural attractions in Tolmin.

The Tolmin Gorges are the lowest and probably the most beautiful entry point into the Triglav National Park. The circular path leads us through the wild gorges of Tolminka and Zadlascica, which merge into the only confluence in the gorges on the territory of Slovenia.

The Municipality of Tolmin and the Soča Valley Tourist Board, together with the locals, strive to keep this unique part of nature clean and safe.

Due to entry restrictions, we recommend buying tickets in advance
