Separate the waste and take the waste with you.

A considerable part of the destination lies within the Triglav national Park (the only national park in Slovenia) and Natura 2000 (European network of special protected areas). The entire destination lies within the Julian Alps biosphere area, which has been a part of the internationally important biosphere reserves for more than twenty years as per the Human and Biosphere Program of UNESCO.

All of this is a testimony of great biodiversity and a rich natural and historical heritage. Because tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the Soča Valley, sustainable development should not be a question allowing choice, but a requirement dictated by demand and increasingly limited natural resources.

Paradise for Active Holidays

Bovec, a small town at the threshold of Triglav National Park, surrounded by the high peaks of the Julian Alps, the centre of outdoor activities, is particularly inviting with a colourful array of sports adventures. Take the time for a pleasant lunch in a domestic inn, taste the popular bovški krafi (sweet dumplings with pears, apples, walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon), and sit in the lively Bovec Square, which turns into a scene of entertaining events in the evening. Take a walk to the Virje Waterfall and follow the route of the Isonzo Front and visit various outdoor museums.

See the nearby Trenta with Lepena, a picturesque valley of Triglav National Park, which is a showcase of lonely farms, a harsh past, and indescribably charming natural pearls, among which the Source of the River Soča, the Great Soča Gorge, and the Šunik Water Grove stand out. Here, Julius Kugy is proudly admiring the great Mount Jalovec.

Visit Log pod Mangartom, an idyllic little alpine village under the 5 kilometres wide and over 1000 metres tall ridge of Loška stena (the Log Cliff). The view from Log usually stops at Mangart, a mountain to which a breathtaking panoramic road climbs, which is also the highest lying mountain road in Slovenia.

If you love holidays near water, Čezsoča will excite you with incredible access to the gravel riverbanks of the River Soča. Only a shot away, at the confluence of the Soča and Koritnica, lies Vodenca, the crossroads of four popular camps. When you will want to escape the lively tourist pulse, try exploring smaller villages, such as Plužna, Kal-Koritnica, Žaga, and Srpenica.
