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.

Vršič Pass

Vršič Pass is Slovenia’s highest mountain pass open to road traffic. The road connects Kranjska Gora on the northern side of the Julian Alps with the Trenta and Soča valleys and the town of Bovec on the southern side. It is an exceptionally scenic route that attracts large numbers of drivers, motorcyclists, and cyclists during the summer months. However, the history of the pass, and the reasons for its construction, is not so beautiful.

Restaurant Kamin

The main attraction of Restaurant Kamin is the spectacular view from its terrace overlooking the entire Gulf of Trieste. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Grado in Italy on the opposite side of the bay, the town of Izola below, and, in the distance, Triglav and the Julian Alps. With a bit of luck, you may even catch a glimpse of the Dolomites. The fantastic scenery makes the excellent food taste even better.
