Stunning Soča Scenery
We hiked the Soča River Trail from its source all the way to Tolmin. We had dozens of “WOW moments” every day. We found spectacular scenery, breathtaking bridges and wonderful waterfalls along the way. We stayed in Na Logu v Trenti in Trenta; Camp Korita near Soča; Tatjana apartments in Bovec; Fedrig s Prenočišči in Kobarid and at the Hotel Dvorec in Tolmin. I can recommend them all. We hiked the route in 7 days, although it can easily be done in 4 or 5 days. Advice: Take your time and visit attractions off the “official” trail.

Beautiful Scenary
After being in Bled we came across the famous 50 curves to see the Soča river spring. You have to stop at curve 49th, and there you have a not easy 15 min path to reach where the river is formed. It is beautiful. After that, we followed the road and 5km after Soča village on the left sight you can see and indication to go to velika korita, where you can take a bath in the crystal clear water and enjoy a 5 to 10m jumps from the rock cliffs too.

Source of Soča
You can reach the source of Soča after "15 minutes walking", but be careful, because this walking is not easy. In fact, Soča has its source in a cave, hidden behind rocks. It is located in the Triglav National Park, that is beautiful with its mountainous panorama. The walking to the source of Soča is quite difficult, especially for people who are not used to it. A piece of advice: take good walking shoes. You will see the river, you will go up the hill and when you reach a waterfall (really beautiful, but also hidden behind rocks), you start climbing. First, it is not too difficult, but as you progress, it becomes harder and harder. There are some ropes you can stick to, but they are not constructed for smaller people, so if you are less than 1m60, the next day you will have a real pain in your arms. However, it is worth visiting - the cave is full of water, but you can see through it, because of its clean blue colour. Apparently, it is 150m deep, but only 32m have been seen - the area deeper is too small to be explored by people. But you get an immediate impression of virgin nature while standing on the ground and watching the colour of water.
