It is surrounded by several tens of meter walls, in it you will see natural bridges, a cavity with several windows, narrow passages and interesting vegetation.
Access:

- Drive through the village of Krnica, park in the parking lot at the end of the road.

Difficulty:
The path is 2 km long and can be covered in just one hour. The galleries are a 20-minute walk from the parking lot.
A longer, circular route is recommended, which shows us the beauty of the gorge in its entirety.
The path to the galleries is easy, trekking shoes are recommended.
The circular route is more demanding, caution is required due to the high walls.
Path
From the parking lot, the path leads through the forest, and soon we are surrounded by high steep walls, the height of which ranges from 50 to 150 meters.
The gorge is only a few meters wide in some parts, and in certain parts the walls touch each other and form narrow passages.
The first fork leads us to Slepa dolina, and in heavy rain we can admire a hidden waterfall.
When we continue on our way, we can turn left to Galerija, and right to Pokljuka hole.

Galleries of Price Andrej
The galleries are reached through a wide passage between the high walls. They are the largest part of the gorge, in them there are information boards, benches allow us to stop and look at the wooden platform. Over this platform, the path leads us through a narrow passage, under a natural bridge, to the upper part of the neighborhood.
Pokljuka hole
It is a large cave with several natural windows. The passage through the cave takes us to the top of the northern part of the gorge, after which we can go to the upper part of the gorge.
Alternatively, we can take a circular route back to the galleries via the natural bridge above the galleries or to the Jager inn on Zatrnik.
