Črne vode waterfall, Slovenia

Črne vode Waterfall, also known as Slap Črne vode or Black Waters Waterfall, is a beautiful and lesser-known natural attraction in the Tamar Valley near Planica and Kranjska Gora. Located in the Julian Alps and within Triglav National Park, the waterfall is formed by water that rises below Slemenova Špica at around 1,909 metres and descends through several cascades before reaching the valley. The final and most impressive drop is about 70 metres high, creating a dramatic waterfall beneath the surrounding cliffs. Because the water disappears underground shortly below the waterfall, Črne vode is especially interesting as both a scenic waterfall and a small alpine karst phenomenon.

črne vode waterfall, Tamar, Slovenia

A visit to Slap Črne vode is a rewarding addition to a trip through Planica and the peaceful Tamar Valley. The waterfall can be reached from the Tamar mountain hut by following the route toward Slemenova Špica, with the walk taking only a short time but still requiring suitable footwear, especially when the ground is wet, icy or covered with snow. In winter, the area becomes particularly atmospheric, as several frozen waterfalls can appear on the slopes, making Črne vode a special destination for photographers and lovers of quiet alpine nature. Its connection with Slemenova Špica, Planica, Tamar, Zelenci and the wider Julian Alps makes it an excellent stop for visitors who want to explore less crowded natural sights near Kranjska Gora. From Erjavčeva mountain hut on Vršič Pass, Črne vode Waterfall can be included in a scenic day trip through Kranjska Gora, Planica, Tamar Valley and the most beautiful mountain landscapes of northwestern Slovenia.
