About

Quick facts: A crystal-clear river rushes through a narrow limestone canyon carved over thousands of years. Wooden walkways cling to the rocky walls, offering stunning views of rapids and waterfalls just a few feet away.

Highlights: Visitors can stroll along a 1.6 km trail with 12 bridges and you’ll often hear the roar of the Radovna River beneath your feet. The highlight is the stunning 13-meter Sum Waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs.

Insider tips

  • Wear sturdy shoes as some paths can be slippery and uneven.
  • Bring a camera for beautiful shots at the Sum Waterfall and river bends.
  • Avoid weekends and midday for a quieter experience and better photos.
  • Pack water and light snacks since there are limited food options inside.
