Formerly a land of sawmills, the Sopota Valley has since seen them consigned to the bin of history. In their place remains a vast gorge of gloriously liberated nature. The Sopota River runs through the gorge, creating rapids and cascades on one hand, ponds and steady bodies of water on the other. Animals have taken back the land, and now it is a healthy ground for kings of the Slovene wild to roam and prosper. Nature truly is lord here. There are hiking trails of course, hiking trails that slide past waterfalls, caves and the remnants of the sawmills. Sat at the foothills of Kum Mountain, there is even a waterfall here for the romantic amongst us. Sušjek waterfall has even played host to many weddings in its history. It doesn’t get much more romantic.
