Tips

The most picturesque waterfall in the Samobor hills is located in the canyon of Javorački potok and for a long time it was hidden from the view of local mountaineers who stumbled upon it in 1927, after returning from a trip to Japetić. Hidden in the woods, separated from the world by recently difficult roads, its noise is heard before reaching a notch down which flows a beautiful 10-meter waterfall. It is especially beautiful in spring and autumn, when the stream is rich in water, while in summer it can dry out.

Until 2016, hiking to Cerinski vir required a bit more effort from mountaineers and hikers than is the case with other valuable Samobor excursion locations, but since 2016 the road to the waterfall is much more accessible thanks to the efforts of HPD Sveti Patrik members. After arranging a mountain lodge on Cerina, they cleaned part of the Javorec stream, cleared part of the trail, set up two bridges over the stream and enabled everyone who is ready for a small forest adventure to easily reach the foot of the waterfall and enjoy another pearl of Samobor hills.

In autumn, the waterfall appears less impressive, but the gorge and the stream valley are easy to hike; surefootedness is required.
