Slap Šum (The Šum waterall)

Only six kilometres away from Kranj, through Zgornja Besnica into Nova vas and from there, less than ten-minute walk is the Sum waterfall, whose tumbling waters can be heard from far away. The Nemiljscica stream that has its river basin east of Jelovica overcomes a 20-metre high waterfall over a steep rocky level. You are kindly invited to visit the waterfall that is a natural asset, but we ask you to take back with you everything that you brought with you, together with impressions of the great power of water and some photographs. Up the riverbed, on a well-trodden forest path we can continue to the remains of the so called Roman baths, described already by Valvasor. The locals know this as the Besnica baths. Two smaller pools were built in 1954 on a thermal spring with a temperature of around 20° C where rheumatics could find relief. Today only remains of the pools can be seen.
