Drive via Domžale and Kamnik to the end of the Kamniška Bistrica valley. About 1km before the exit of the road at the karst spring and an inn, there is a large gravel parking place on the left.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

Cross the gorge by means of a bridge and follow a hiking trail on the opposite bank upstream until you can descend to the stream above the gorge walls.

Tour (25 min): machine translated ➜

After a short walking passages and a massive rock channel, you come to the key point of the tour, a 4m waterfall. From a traverse bolt, traverse orographic left to a small rock platform and from there jump far(!) out to the front. If you want to rappel here, be sure to use a drift anchor. The pool is very receding and has already caused one fatal accident. After that, only swim and small downclimbs, some of which can be jumped. Difficulties here are heavily dependent on jammed tree trunks. At the exit of the main gorge, you can climb out orographic to the right or descend briefly through the small, less difficult Mali Predoselj.
