The mountainous northwestern corner of Slovenia is home to so much natural beauty and the Soča River is a prime example of that.
What makes this river so incredible is the color of its water – it’s such a vivid shade of turquoise that it’s hard to believe it’s real!
There are several ways to experience the beauty of the Soča River but the coolest one is taking a kayaking or whitewater rafting tour. It’s a bucket list-worthy adventure suitable for all levels where you’ll get to paddle through mesmerizing blue water and thrilling frothy rapids.
We also recommend visiting the Small Soča Gorge (Mala Korita Soče), the Great Soča Gorge (Velika Korita Soče) and the wooden footbridge near the town of Kobarid (next to Kamp Lazar) which offers probably the best views of the Soča River.
If you want to go for a swim, there are many places along the river where you can do that, mostly between the towns of Bovec and Tolmin. Just be aware that since it’s an alpine river, the water is pretty chilly. On a hot summer day, it’s the perfect way to cool down though!
