More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a provincial road as the city’s hum falls away: cypress and stone walls slip past the van window, and the Trebižet River begins to call — a cool, rushing presence that dares you closer. At Koćuša waterfalls the water broadens and tumbles in shallow curtains, silvered and immediate; then you drive a few minutes more to Hardomilje, where a family home sits low to the land and the smoke from an iron dome peka speaks of the meal to come.
