Korošak Waterfalls

For today, more a walk than a serious hike in the valley of the Bistričica stream. In the settlement Kremenčevo, the Korošak stream flows into the Bistričica stream, which in the gorge above the village forms beautiful waterfalls. The stream comes from under Kržišče below Krvavec. The highest measures 15 m. Into this gorge leads an unmarked, good trodden path. Soon on it branches a path to the right to the Osredek pasture and further to Kamniški vrh. To the big waterfall, less than half an hour. And that is our goal for today. To the remaining waterfalls some other time. Andrej Stritar defined the path in his guide as demanding, unmarked. It is demanding onwards from the big waterfall.

Korošak Waterfalls Right after the parking lot we cross the Bistričica stream. Below on the right, the Korošak stream flows into it.

Korošak Waterfalls The pleasant path runs along the streambed but retreats a little to the right.

Korošak Waterfalls Before this gravelly part of the path we also pass some kind of basins that are very picturesque. If we clamber a bit over wet stones we can inspect them up close - it's worth it. o

Korošak Waterfalls Here today I found numerous mountain flowers from gentian to monkshood.

Korošak Waterfalls The waterfall is beautiful. No photo, however beautiful, can capture its freshness and beauty. From here to the left we can go to smaller waterfalls too, but the path is steep and gravelly.

Korošak Waterfalls Back to the parking lot with a bit more of village idyll.

Korošak Waterfalls Idyll that is undoubtedly disappearing - hayracks are being torn down.

Now, a late-summer view of this friendly gorge of the Korošak Waterfalls. Now we go into this gorge more to cool off, because there are practically no waterfalls. Still, enough water gathers that the stream at the end of the gorge merrily gurgles. The best time for viewing the waterfalls is really early spring, when the waterfalls are most watery. The big waterfall has barely any water. To the left at the big waterfall, over rocks and scree, one proceeds further into the gorge, where higher in the gorge at sufficient water level there are still the other waterfalls. On these rocks it is currently quite hard to climb, because it is wet and slippery. Extreme caution applies to the descent. At the top of this rocky area or scree, a barely visible path in tall grass turns right and after a short ridge we descend again into the gorge. Then we continue along the right fork of the gorge to the upper larger waterfall, which is nice with big water. Currently it has barely any water. If nothing else, the pleasant cool in the gorge really revives us.

Before the big waterfall, you can see these potholes. With even more water, they are really wonderful.

Before the big waterfall at a smaller gravel area.

From here a view of the adjacent slope, where the path continues to Kamniški vrh.

At higher water levels, water also creeps along the right side of the steep rock face.

On the left side, continue along the gorge. Unfortunately, this picture does not show the difficulty of the ascent.

Here we have already reached the next gorge.

I don't know where the left arm of the gorge would lead us.

The correct route is the right gorge, up the streambed to the large upper waterfall.

Currently there is nothing of the otherwise magnificent ensemble of creeping and falling water through some troughs or gullies, which merge in the lower part into a beautiful waterfall. Worth climbing here in spring.

Today again after a long pause back in the mountains. The goal was the Korošak Waterfalls. I started the path from the village Klemenčevo. Then continued on the forest road and got into pathless terrain, so I had quite some trouble with orientation. But in the end
I found my way and took the right path. I continued further through pathless terrain and somehow got to a forest path and arrived at Planina Osredek and back to the valley.

Nice afternoon tour to Planina Osredek past the Korošak Waterfalls. We were here for the first time and had quite some trouble with orientation. Otherwise nice path to Planina Osredek, quite steep path, in wet big slip risk. Nice greeting.

Today viewing the waterfalls of the Korošak stream. At the starting point full of cars, waterfalls and Kamniški vrh besieged today.
We viewed the big waterfall, I climb a bit further, the girl waits for me below.
We continue along the ridge on an unmarked trail.
At Planina Osredek we take a break, but the cold wind soon chases us back to the valley, where we descend on the marked path.
Sunny, at the pasture quite windy.
Happy trails! nasmeh
