Vrata Valley

  • December 30, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Timone from Warwick, United Kingdom
We visited the Vrata Valley on a small tour from our hotel. There were six of us and a driver in a small minibus which departed about 9am on a Sunday morning. Firstly we drove through the mountains to Mojstrana and on to the Perenica waterfalls. These falls are in two parts and the climb to them is steep. The first part is moderately easy and the view impressive as the falls cascade down and you are able to walk right behind the falls, giving you a great view of the route you have just climbed. Then it's an even steeper trek with huge steps up to the next part of the falls and little collecting pool; here you can drink icy fresh mountain water and see the water tumbling down into the falls you have just come from. After a brief rest it was back down to the minibus and on to Triglav. We parked up and took a walk into the National Park area, which is the start point for those climbing Triglav from the north - not a good idea as it's the second most difficult climb in Europe after the Eiger. After that we took a short walk along the valley and back to the little restaurant for our "surprise"...apricot pancakes and alpine tea. Both were beautiful, the pancakes hot and sweet with the tea being similar but made from herbs found in the local mountains, a very unique but pleasant flavour.

If you like walking or the outdoors, then this is a good trip to do before you start out on some day hikes yourself, as you can get an idea of the sort of environment you are going to meet. The guide is incredibly well informed and had himself climbed Triglav.
