Description

The Tolmin gorges (Slovenia) are the lowest and southernmost entry point into the Triglav National Park and Tolmin’s most important sight of nature.

The Confluence of the Tolminka and the Zadlaščica, the lowest point of The Triglav National Park

As the Tolminka carved its path into the limestone, it created a wild gorge with typical joints that appear as smooth vertical plates. We can find similar ones in the Julian Alps at just one other location, namely the Mlinarica gorge in the Trenta Valley.

Going further towards the East, the Zadlaščica carved its gorge with deep erosion. The two rivers then widen and merge into, what is in fact the only confluence of gorges in Slovenia.

This confluence (“Sotočje”) lies at approximately 180 m above sea-level and is the lowest point of the Triglav National Park.
