Pokljuka Gorge, Canyon in Gorje, Slovenia.
Pokljuka Gorge extends nearly 2 kilometers through limestone terrain with walls reaching 50 meters high and sections where the passage narrows to just one meter wide.
The gorge was carved by glacial river runoff from the Pokljuka ridge over thousands of years, with wooden galleries and steps installed in 1930 to facilitate safe exploration.
Local farmers have used the Pokljuka Hole as a traditional passage connecting Gorje with interior Pokljuka regions for centuries, maintaining seasonal grazing areas called rovtes above the gorge.
Visitors can access the site from Zgornje Gorje village with parking available near the primary school, and the circular walking route takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
The King Andrew Galleries extend 35 meters through vertical limestone walls and were named after the son of King Karadjordjevic during the Yugoslav monarchy period.
