Vražji prolaz (Devil's pass) and Zeleni vir (The Green whirlpool) - Skrad

Zeleni vir Vražji prolaz (Devil's pass) is 1800 m longand at certain points hardly 2 m wide canyon. Its sheer cliffs (that are often more than 100 m high), along with a foaming and roaring stream Jasle that rushesat the bottom make the walk through the canyon an unforgetable experience. At the end of the canyon there is a cave called Muževa hiža (The Husband's House) with formations resulting from the effects of underground water on the limestone, and which are typical of karst. It is about 120 m long.
Zeleni vir (The green whirlpool) is a spring at the bottom of a wide and shallow cave with 70 m high sheer cliffs that overhang its entrance. There is also a lively waterfall which goes down the cliffs, creating a shimmering curtain of water.
