Kozjak is the waterfall that we really wanted to see that was two hours away. We found the parking lot which was oddly pretty empty and started our hike. I knew there was an entry to get in to the waterfall but didn’t realize it was a little over a mile before you get to the entrance. At that point, we found out the waterfall was closed because the river was too high to get to the waterfall. They said you could enter at your own risk but we could still hike around. We drove all this way so I still wanted to hike until we couldn’t go any further. We came up to a point where the river was for sure in the way of the path. We really are only talking about a river that is maybe a couple of inches too deep for the path to keep going. After watching some others take off their shoes and socks and wade through the river, I knew I had to keep going. So we also took off our shoes and socks and kept the adventure going. The river was cold but refreshing on the feet. I learned that I really don’t like walking on little pebbles barefoot. But the waterfall was for sure worth it. The pool was full of a lot of water so much that if you look at the website, it shows people standing on rocks in front of the waterfall. We were up on a wood ledge that really only held maybe 6 people at once. The two hour drive was definitely worth it, and actually we saved the price of the entrance since it was technically closed.

Here is the path leading up to the waterfall. Once you went around the bend, you climbed onto a wood platform to see the waterfall. When the water isn’t high, you can stay on the rocks.

My reward for all of the driving the last couple of days was the famous Lake Bled Cream Cake:
