Dolžan Gorge

Near Tržič there is a unique site of fossils from the Permian period, important also on a world scale. Tectonic forces and the Tržiška Bistrica have over millennia shaped a gorge, where a varied rock structure and the remains of former plants and animals are revealed.

The oldest and largest specimens of fossils found so far are around 270 million years old. Besides the rocks, the boulders of quartz sediments in the bed of the Bistrica are also interesting.

A speciality of the gorge is the road tunnel and five pyramidal limestone towers. The Dolžan gorge is one of the central points of the Slovenian geological trail.
