Kozjak Falls, Natural waterfall in Kobarid Municipality, Slovenia
The Kozjak Falls descend 15 meters into a limestone cave chamber, creating a pool with green and blue reflections from mineral-rich water.
Napoleon's troops used the nearby bridge, constructed in 1750, during their military campaign before its destruction in World War I and subsequent reconstruction.
Local communities maintain protective measures to preserve the natural state of the falls, making it a symbol of environmental stewardship.
Visitors can reach the falls through a marked trail from Kobarid center, with the hike taking approximately 45 minutes one way.
The waterfall flows within a natural limestone grotto where moss covers the walls, creating an enclosed amphitheater around the cascade.

Slovenia covers some 7,800 square miles (20,000 square kilometers) between the Alps and the Adriatic, offering a concentration of different landscapes from the Julian Alps to the coast. The karst caves of Postojna and Škocjan rank among Europe's most extensive underground systems, while lakes such as Bled and Bohinj sit in glacial valleys. Medieval fortifications like Predjama Castle, built into a cliff face, and Ljubljana Old Town with its preserved architecture document the region's history. Triglav National Park encompasses Slovenia's highest mountain range and provides hiking routes through valleys like Soča, passes such as Vršič, and plateaus including Velika Planina. The Adriatic coastal town of Piran preserves Venetian architecture, while smaller places like Ptuj show Roman and medieval remains. Waterfalls such as Savica and Peričnik, springs like Zelenci, and gorges including Vintgar and Tolmin demonstrate the variety of Slovenian natural landscapes between mountains and Mediterranean.
