Path description:
From Planica follow the dirt road to Dom v Tamarju, before the road splits into two parts. Continue along the road slightly to the right in the direction of the footpath towards Tamar (slightly to the left is a carriageway, but closed to public traffic).
The path continues along the road which passes the last parking lot of NC Planica and turns into a forest, which is converted into a cross-country skiing track in winter. The ascent is along a winding road, mostly through the forest, but when the path leaves the forest, there are peepholes along the way with signs indicating what can be seen. Higher up, the forest often thins out or is abandoned for a while, opening up beautiful views of the mountains rising above Planica and Tamar. When we are quite close to Dom v Tamarju, we get a wonderful view of Jalovec and the trail splits.
Continue slightly right towards the source of the Nadiža River (slightly left Dom v Tamarju for 3 minutes), initially on a wide and winding path, but after the waterworks the path narrows and becomes steep. Continue climbing along the left bank of the Nadiža, occasionally steeply uphill. As we approach the cliffs higher up, the path turns left and leads us to the Nadize waterfall, with the spring located above the waterfall.
