Soča Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Soča keeps changing from calm and wide flowing, too narrow and fast. In places like this one can relax and test the water temperature;)

October 2, 2023,Camp Soča nach Bovec - 2. Etappe auf dem Soška Pot
Today our 2nd stage from Camp Soča to Bovec. Our path took us along the Soča again. Pretty early on, we passed by the place of worship. The dead of the World War between 1914 and 1918 are commemorated. There is also a small chapel. We continued along the Soča, mostly parallel to the road. There were again some beautiful …

A very nice, varied tour on the Soça Trail.

We took a leisurely walk along the Soca River, one of the most beautiful valleys and rivers we've seen so far. To avoid the expensive parking fees, simply drive to our starting point; parking is free there.

4/5 when sunny!
Probably even nicer when taking bus further upstream and just walking down one direction
The fascinating water color of the Soča was one of the reasons for our holiday in Slovenia, so we naturally had to do a tour along the beautiful river.
We took the bus this morning (which, to our surprise, was also free) to Soča and walked back home from there. A beautiful tour, often on small paths, sometimes close to …

In the summer months of June to August, there is the option of taking the bus along the Soča and hiking back on the Alpe-Adria-Trail "Soča-Pot" for any length of time. On this tour we took the 9:30 bus from Bovec to Soča (3rd stop), crossed the nearby bridge and hiked back to Bovec. You have the opportunity to visit …

After a nice rest day, we start again today with an easy stage. The route only counts 13 kilometers and the altimeters are not exciting either. The route is great, we walk almost the entire stage along the crystal clear Soča river. Want to know more about the stage? Listen episode #16 of TrailTalks: spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/2vCBRFlrUzb

Day 2 of our hike on the Soca Trail. Today we went from Soca to Bovec. Today's stage was much more along the river, which I enjoyed much more. Although yesterday was beautiful, too. But yesterday's trails had larger detours away from the river. You can't get enough of the crystal-clear water and the stunning scenery. Plus, there are the …
