8 days in Soča Valley Itinerary

At the very heart of picturesque Soca Valley, Kobarid delivers some of the most stunning views of Slovenia's highest peaks, as well as a chance to enjoy some exciting alpine rivers.

Venture out of the city with trips to Šmartno (in Kojsko), Planica Nordic Centre & Zipline (in Rateče) and Kranjska Gora (The Russian Chapel & Vršič Pass). There's much more to do: admire the sheer force of Kozjak Waterfall, explore the historical opulence of Predjama Castle, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Italian Charnel House, and paddle through the water with a kayaking and canoeing tour.
