A 200 metre long and 45 metre high Gorge called Mlačca is situated within the smallish basin Mlačca amogst the tennis courts. This is the cradle of an ice climbing gorge where a set of three waterfalls aproximatelly 15-30m wide and 30-40m high is located. The waterfalls are prepared by the members of the ice climbing association in Mojstrana. If you are excited by the idea of testing yourself in this type of climbing, you will not be disappointed by the experience within this gorgeous (mau word playa xD) icy gorge. This is also a place where famous well respected alpinists train in order to stay in shape and where events are being organized on a national as well as international level in memory of the legendary Slovenian alpinist Tomaž Humar.
Ice climbing is a winter activity that lets the blood flow throughout your entire body. If you are already experienced in this type of climbing you will be permitted to indulge in this enteprise without having an instuctor present. If this is not the case however, the presence of an instructor is mandatory so that they can inform the beginner with the different types of techniques and go over the necessary steps to be taken in order to ensure one’s safety. The so called top rope measure is being used which guarantees one’s safety even in the case of the ice breaking.
Combined climbing
A new type of climbing called dry-tooling is now also avaliable in Gorge Mlačca. . There are eight different possible directions in the vicinity of the ice climbing site with difficulties ranging from D6 to M9
These directions and properly equipped. The rock/cliff isn’t suitable in certain sections but is nonetheless perfect for dry-tooling. The wall is aproximatelly 15 meters high. The directions that cross eacthother are about 25meter long. A couple of longer sets of ropes are required for a smoother climbing experience. The moorings in the wall are properly equipped with rings. The climbing is especially interesting in four M difficulty directions where man made icicles are to be found.
Location
Along the Gorenjska (upper Carniola) motorway exiting at Jesenice West – Hrušica exit, then turning left towards Kranjska Gora. Village Mojstrana is approximately 6 kilometers away from the exit. There is a bridge on the left side of the road right after the rest area along the river Sava. This road leads all the way to Mojstrana. One needs to proceed past the ski slope and then turn left on a road uphill, keep left (road towards Kot and Krma)and approximately 500 meters and over a bridge turn right downhill. 50 meters ahead there is a large parking space right next to the tennis courts. From here on out there is a footpath leading towards the center of gorge Mlačca 300 meters ahead.
Another option is to leave the car in Mojstrana near the Viharnik Garden or the Slovenian Alpine Museum and continue on foot along Triglavska cesta, over the green bridge and up the hill. You can reach the gorge in about 5 minutes. If you are going to visit us by camper or bus, we recommend that you choose the latter option.
