Boka, Natural waterfall at Boka Valley, Slovenia
Boka is a waterfall in the Boka Valley that descends through limestone formations in the Julian Alps with two main drops. The cascading flows come together to form a system shaped by the region's topography.
This valley formed during the last ice age when glacial movements carved deep furrows into the limestone mountains of northwestern Slovenia. Waters from melting ice flowed through and shaped the land as it appears today.
The waterfall has long been part of daily life in this region and shapes how people use and experience the landscape around them. The meadows and pathways show traces of this relationship between residents and the natural world.
A marked trail leads from the parking area near the main road between Bovec and Kobarid to the viewing platform. The route is easy to follow, but the terrain varies, so suitable footwear is recommended.
The water originates from an underground karst spring system that maintains a constant flow year-round, even during dry periods. This hidden source feeds the waterfall from deep within the mountain.
