Tax Waterfalls

The Davča Stream forms three waterfalls below Pod Kotli; while they cannot rival Slovenia’s largest waterfalls in terms of volume, they are their equals in beauty.
Above the upper waterfall lies the confluence of two roughly equal tributaries: the left one gathers water from below Porezen, while the right one gathers water from below Hum and Konjsko Brdo.

The upper waterfall plunges over black dolomite layers with rosette-shaped nodules five to six meters deep into a pool formed in tectonically fractured hard rock. The middle waterfall, which is six meters high, is double and the most beautiful. Its left channel is more powerful than the right. The waterfall’s ledge is made of the same rock as the upper one. The lower waterfall in front of you directs the water across eroded and variably steep ledges into two main channels, which merge when the water level is very high. The rock consists of gray, fine-grained dolomite from the Upper Triassic period (approximately 210 million years old), which, in addition to carbonates, also contains some quartz and a fair amount of rosette nodules.

Access:

From the regional road between Železniki and Most na Soči, turn off about 3.5 kilometers past Železniki (and about a kilometer before Zali log) onto the local road toward Davča. Follow the road that runs through the Davča River valley all the way to its end (about 12 kilometers) or to the quarry, where the trail to the waterfalls begins.
