Hell Gorge

Borovniščica Creek has created many erosion features such as pools, rapids, and waterfalls, of which five are extremely beautiful and well known because they plunge from 20 to 5 m (66 to 16 ft).

It was officially opened to the public on June 29, 1904, after the original footpath that leads to the second waterfall and a wooden ladder to the third one were created.

The complete footpath, including bridges and ladders, leading through the gorge was finished in 1925 and later renovated on a regular basis.

The deeply cut bed of Otavščica Creek flows down into the Ljubljana Marsh (335 m) from the Bloke–Rakitna Plateau (650 m) and changes its name to the Borovniščica.

Trail infrastructure: Both Alpine and Dinaric vegetation can be seen in Hell Gorge, including the endemic Carniolan primrose (Primula carniolica).
