The Natural Bridge on Mežakla is a distinctive natural landmark above the Upper Sava Valley. According to the official Visit Jesenice description, it lies on Mežakla, which is part of Triglav National Park, and formed through water erosion and the weathering of rocks with different resistance. Its shape has also earned it the local nickname “the little elephant”.
This is not a large attraction with visitor facilities, but a rewarding stop on a shorter hiking outing. The official page notes spring mountain plants near the bridge, so the area is also appealing to nature lovers and photographers. Jesenice tourism states that a walk on Mežakla is worth visiting at any time of year.
On the Jesenice hiking map, the bridge is listed along the route Kočna – Obranca – Planski vrh – Zakop – Jesenice (Podmežakla). The route is marked as partly demanding and takes about 4 hours. This is the clearest current orientation for planning a visit.
The bridge is estimated at about 15 m long, the arch is about 3 m wide, and it rises up to 8 m above the ravine floor. Expect a natural mountain setting with forest and rocky sections, changing conditions, and personal responsibility on the trail.
