The canyon opens with a cool breath of water and stone — a narrow throat of rock that forces attention. Participants begin with a twenty-minute forest walk that drops to the lip of Sušec; the descent that follows is compact, physical and immediate: slippery rock slides, medium-height jumps and tight pools that demand controlled movement and a steady swim.

History
The region’s mountain communities historically oriented around river routes and pasture, and modern canyoning grew from that practical river knowledge into a guided sport over the last two decades.
Conservation
The canyon’s limestone walls and aquatic habitats are sensitive; stick to marked access, avoid soap/sunscreen in pools and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and disturbance.

Be a confident swimmer
This canyon requires you to swim between pools; if you’re uncomfortable in deep water, reconsider or ask about alternatives.
Wear secure shoes to the meeting point
Closed-toe shoes are needed for the 20-minute approach and to protect feet during the descent; you’ll get canyon-specific boots on-site.
Bring a dry layer for after the run
The canyon stays cold even in summer—pack a warm jacket and dry clothes to change into immediately after.
Hydrate and eat light beforehand
A small snack and water before the start will sustain energy without weighing you down during swims and jumps.
Swimsuit
Worn under the neoprene suit; quick-dry material is best.
