There are two big waterfalls, one over another. The path is good and easy, I recommend trainers. One of the waterfall has a path all around it, which is fantastic that you can stand under the stone and the waterfall falls down.
2. The Crne Vode Waterfall

The slope of Sleme is covered in numerous waterfalls, the highest of which is the Crne vode waterfall which cascades down in a 70 metre drop, only to disappear underground.
3. Izvir Bistrice
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Bistrica river with its source Pod Luknjo is the strongest affluent of the Sava Bohinjka river. The stream flowing through the Bohinjska Bistrica river gets its water from the lower Bohinj mountains. The Bistrica stream has a picturesque impassable gorge which has not yet been arranged for tourist visits. You can, however, visit its impressive source with the waterfalls.

We walked this trail one afternoon, thinking we would do a light hike!... It turned out instead into quite a demanding trail, which is separated in two parts: the first waterfall is reachable after a moderate walk with some steeper parts covered by steps, making it accessible to most. This fall is already quite beautiful. But for those with energy, I strongly recommend to continue the path upwards: first, you will get to a nice and cozy little hut offering delicious homemade food with a gorgeous view, and then, after some rather gruelling ascent, you will reach the gem of this walk - the 2nd waterfall! This towering drop of water is breathtaking, and you can reach the very foot of it, to get a sense of the spray and wind generated by the column of water... if you do not mind scrambling and doing a bit of ferrata to get there. This is perfectly doable, if you are feeling a bit acrobatic. This was just one of the highlights of our stay!
6. Nadiza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
In Tamar, from beneath the mountain crest of the Ponce, springs the source of the river, the Sava Dolinka. Its source, which surfaces from a rock crack and flows down the rocky riverbed to the valley, is called Nadiza. It soon disappears again in the gravelly terrain only to surface again a few hundred meters lower down the valley at Zelenci.
7. Sum Waterfall
8. Govic Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
The Govic Waterfall is an impressive steep mountain stream that can only be seen in heavy rainfall and only a few hours after it gushes out from the cave on the southern hillside of Prsivec, around 130 m above Lake Bohinj. The trip to the cave is only possible with a guide and appropriate equipment.
9. Slap Grmecica
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
The waterfall has altogether height of 19 meters because the stages are so close one to another that we can say there is one multiple stage waterfall. You can start your walk from Nomenj village and in about 20 min you will reach the sight of Grmečica waterfall. There is no official parking places at starting point, so we recommend to take a bus from Bohinjska Bistrica to Nomenj, where you can find free parking places.

It is about half an hour hike to the waterfalls. You can park free at the restaurant. Steep steps along the mountains. There is a nominal entrance fee, payable at a small shop, after about a five minute walk. Worth the hike. It will not disappoint.
