Krnica: Pokljuka Gorge, Radovna and Scenic Trail

A circular trail with information boards about its flora, fauna and geology runs through the Pokljuška soteska. Near Krnica, the Radovna changes direction in a sharp bend and flows northeast before reaching the 1,600-metre-long Vintgar Gorge, whose walls are steep and precipitous.

In the wider regional surroundings of Krnica, the Natura 2000 area along the Radovna River extends from the bridge area near Srednja Radovna to the Šum Waterfall. The river course and part of the bank vegetation are protected. Also in the wider regional surroundings of Krnica, the Radovna flows over limestone between Krnica and Zgornji Graben and continues towards the Vintgar Gorge.

The landscape also includes Gorjanska jama, with around 1,300 metres of passages and a depth of 153 metres. Today, it can only be accessed accompanied by speleologists.

The Čebelarska Educational and Scenic Trail leads uphill from Grabče towards the village of Krnica. From the trail junction in Krnica, it offers views of Stol and Begunjščica. After the trail meets the road to Laze and Mežakla, a view of Krnica opens up. The Čebelarska Educational and Scenic Trail also has a branch leading to the Pokljuška soteska.

The Radovna Cycling Route starts in Krnica near Zgornje Gorje. It runs from the bridge over the Radovna River in Krnica to Pocarjeva domačija in Zgornja Radovna.

Including stops at the information boards, the Radovna Cycling Route is estimated to take 2.5 to 3.5 hours by bicycle.
