About this experience
If you've never done canyoning before, this is the place to start. This natural water park is located about 10 min drive from Bovec. It's one of the most beautiful canyons in this part of Europe, featuring nice slides and jumps, that get higher as you move down the canyon. The last 12 m slide into a deep pool, will without a doubt give an adrenaline rush even to the most fearless participants and just in case you're afraid to do it, there's always a path around the waterfalls, so you can skip the scary parts. That's what makes this canyon so amazing and appropriate for everyone, even for children.
