Boka Waterfall

Boka Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Slovenia. It is located in the Soča Valley, just west of the town of Bovec. The waterfall is visible directly from the road between Bovec and Kobarid, making it difficult to miss. Since it is located not far from the road, it is easy to make a quick stop and visit the waterfall while travelling between the many other attractions in the Soča Valley. We visited the waterfall in mid-May, when it was full of water.

Zadnja (Upper) Trenta

Zadnja Trenta is the highest and most remote part of the Trenta Valley. In our opinion, it is also the valley’s most beautiful part, where towering peaks meet crystal-clear streams, riverbeds, rich flora and fauna in a spectacular landscape. Although more and more visitors are discovering this hidden corner of Slovenia, it still feels as though time has stood still. The traditional houses and architecture have changed little over the centuries. The valley is part of Triglav National Park and is therefore a protected area.

Izola

Izola shares many similarities with Piran, but it also has its own distinct character. Both towns have a strong Venetian heritage and a lively restaurant scene, where you can enjoy Istrian seafood while watching the sun set over the Adriatic Sea. Izola is less well known and less touristy than Piran, offering a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. Its name comes from the Italian word for “island.” Like many other towns in Istria, Izola has a rich history shaped by a variety of cultures.

Soča River Source

The Soča River is probably Slovenia’s most remarkable river, known for its distinctive emerald-green colour and the beautiful valleys through which it flows. The source of the Soča River is located in the incredibly beautiful Zadnja Trenta Valley and marks the beginning of a 138 km long river that flows through the Trenta and Soča Valleys before emptying into the Adriatic Sea near Monfalcone in Italy. After the source, there is a series of beautiful waterfalls to admire.

Bovec

Bovec is Slovenia’s main hub for adventure sports. The town lies in the Soča Valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps. It has a lively atmosphere reminiscent of other alpine adventure destinations such as Chamonix in France. Here, you can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, including rafting, canyoning, cycling, hiking, mountaineering, paragliding, and zip-lining. In addition, the surrounding area is filled with attractions such as waterfalls, emerald-green rivers, and beautiful alpine valleys waiting to be explored.

Piran Wall

The Piran city wall is one of the best spots for fantastic views and beautiful photos of Piran, unless you have a drone, of course. Although we have visited Piran countless times, it wasn’t until early April this year that we finally explored the wall. It was a wonderful spring day during Easter, with plenty of visitors, especially Slovenians and Italians. Given Piran’s proximity to Italy, the town attracts many day visitors.
