Mostnica

verified Ungraded Moderate flood risk Stara Fužina, Bohinj

A 2 hour limestone descent draining the Voje valley into Bohinj, distinct from the more famous Mostnica Korita walking gorge downstream.

Easy to confuse with the Mostnica Korita (Devil's Bridge) tourist gorge, which is a paid walking trail not a descent. The technical canyon is upstream in the Voje catchment. Triglav NP enforces standard conduct but does not require a canyoning permit here, unlike Fratarica.
