Description

This full-day tour starts from Bled or Bohinj, traveling through the Upper Sava Valley toward the Julian Alps. The first stop is Zelenci Nature Reserve, an emerald spring marking the source of Slovenia’s longest river.

Next, visit Lake Jasna, an alpine lake with crystal-clear reflections, scenic bridges, and mountain views accessible by a short, easy walk.

The route continues over the Vršič Pass, Slovenia’s highest mountain road at 1,611 meters. The drive features scenic bends surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps in Triglav National Park.

Descending into the Soča Valley reveals turquoise waters, suspension bridges, and dramatic cliffs. You will take a flexible walk along one of the Soča River’s natural gorges, adjusted to group ability and conditions.

The tour stops in Bovec, a town beneath Kanin Mountain known for adventure sports like canyoning, rafting, and hiking. You will have free time here for lunch and exploration.

After Bovec, if time permits, you can visit Kozjak Waterfall via a 20-minute walk through forest and rocky gorge. This waterfall drops into an emerald pool and offers a quiet, photogenic experience.
