Waterfall·Natural, Rugged, Quiet
Located in the quiet village of Bohinjska Bela, Slap Iglica is a 24-meter high waterfall that flows over a vertical limestone wall. The site is a favorite for hikers and rock climbers alike, featuring a series of steep metal stairs and ladders that lead to a viewpoint overlooking the Sava Bohinjka valley. While the water flow can be thin or non-existent during dry spells, the rugged terrain and the thrill of the climb make it a popular excursion from nearby Lake Bled. It serves as an excellent starting point for longer forest trails and offers a peaceful alternative to more crowded tourist spots.

Slap Iglica is widely regarded as a pleasant natural stop, particularly for those enjoying a hike between Bled and Bohinjska Bela. Reviewers often highlight the fun yet challenging climb up the metal ladders and stairs built into the cliffside. While the scenery is praised, many visitors warn that the waterfall itself is highly seasonal and frequently dry, even after rainfall. Those who do catch it with water mention the possibility of walking behind the falls for a unique perspective. Sturdy footwear is strongly recommended by almost all visitors due to the slippery, rocky terrain and steep sections. Despite some visible infrastructure like pipes, the overall consensus is that the view from the top makes the short trek worthwhile.
