The Birth House of Simon Gregorčič

Mogočna nisi ne prostorna,
in stavil te umetnik ni,
bolj kot bogata si uborna,
preprosta selska hiša ti!

In vendar ne palač ogromnih
in njih blesku ne bom slavil;
a tebi, dom seljakov skromnih,
nesmrten venec rad bi zvil.
                                                                                                                       (Simon Gregorčič)

Tolmin Gorges

Tolmin Gorges, the most visited attraction in the region of Tolmin, are  the lowest entrance into the Troglav National Park. Confluence of two Alpine rivers, Tolminka and Zadlaščica, into a gorge is a unique phenomenon in Slovenia. The chute on the Tolminka River is the lowest point (180m) in Triglav National Park and the longest chute in Slovenia (about 200m). It is also among the deepest (60m under the Devil's bridge).
