In a Nutshell
- The hike starts at the edge of a large (paid) parking lot behind Stara Fužina.
- Following the signs for Korita Mostnice, pass an old stone bridge (Devil’s Bridge), pay your dues (of course, they’ll charge you in summer 🤷♂️), and enjoy the experience.
- There’s a footpath along both sides of the gorge. I usually hike upriver on the rightmost one1 and return down the other one.
- The trail around Mostnica Gorge ends with a bridge crossing the gorge. You could immediately return along the other side of the gorge or (much better) hike for another ~15 minutes (a bit steeper terrain) to the Voje mountain hut (Koča na Vojah) and have a snack there.
- Have fun, and enjoy the views ;)

In the direction of hike; it would be left of the river because the direction in which the river flows matters ;) ↩︎
