Rappelling Predelica: A 35‑meter Canyoning Descent in the Soča Valley
A single‑day canyoning route through Triglav National Park that delivers technical abseils, crystal‑clear pools and scenic waterfall pitches over a 4.5‑hour outing.
Rappelling Predelica: A 35‑meter Canyoning Descent in the Soča Valley.
Predelica winds through some of the Soča Valley’s most scenic waterfalls, where crystal‑clear pools and steep drops slice into the limestone gorge. The route gives participants the chance to rig and rappel multiple waterfalls—including a highest abseil of 35 meters—inside Triglav National Park; because the canyon is technical and demanding, it’s best suited to those with previous canyoning experience.
