Access to starting point:
From Vrhnika or Podpeč we drive to the village Borovnica. And here we turn in the village Brezovica pri Borovnici. Immediately, when the road through the underpass crosses the railway track, we turn right. We follow this road to the parking lot at the end of the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a tourist path, which goes past the marks where the valley is described, at first through a meadow. The path then soon over a bridge crosses the stream. After some time again over the bridge, back on the right bank. And the path then starts slightly ascending and it brings us to the smallest barely 4 meters high 1st waterfall. The path then ascends and it brings us to the crossing. Left over the bridge is the second waterfall to which there is 30 meters. We return to a crossing, where we now go towards the third waterfall. At the ascent we get help from steep well-secured stairs, which soon take us to the third waterfall. Here stands a smaller decaying table from which there is a nice view towards the waterfall, which is falling into a smaller lake.
The path ahead steeply ascends on longer stairs, which are exposed to falling stones. Next follows few more iron spikes and the path brings us to a crossing at the vantage point. We go to the left path, which crosses a steep slope, which is in wet dangerous for slipping. The path then brings us to the bridge which we cross and on the other side, we start ascending steeper. After that, the path over a bridge again crosses the stream and it brings us to the spot, where the orientation is a little harder. There is a larger number of footpaths, and all of them except the correct one quickly end. The right path runs left along the stream and with the help of steel cables brings us to the 4th waterfall. The ascent ahead runs on a steep slope, which demands a calm step. Then with the help of steel cables we get to the next bridge over the stream. Here below us are smaller rapids. And the path ahead is still ascending on in parts steep slope. The path then again gets closer to the water. Follows only a shorter descent to the stream, where a nice view opens up on the 5th waterfall.
It is recommended to descent via Pristava. From the 5th waterfall we cross the stream and on the other side, we are ascending on a cart track to the road, where we go right. After three minutes from the road, a wide marked cart track branches off to the right on which we go. The cart track then after a short descent brings us to the road in the village Pristava. Further, we follow the signs for guesthouse Gostišče Pekel.
On the way: Soteska Pekel 1. slap (380m), Soteska pekel 2. slap (410m), Soteska Pekel 3rd waterfall (445m), Soteska pekel 4. slap (500m)
