Day 3 : Pluzna Village Walk
Location: Bovec
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
A varied walk, ascending into the foothills NW of Bovec. Explore the old village, then walk through deciduous woodland to the attractive village of Pluzna before arriving at the beautiful waterfall Slap Virje, a superb bathing spot for a hot day. Pass the mysterious source of the Glijuna river which gushes out of a moss-covered jumble of boulders below the limestone cliffs. Follow an aqueduct to pass a reservoir and descend through pleasant woods and farmland back to Bovec.
Day 4 : Trenta To Bovec
Location: Bovec
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
A transfer takes you to Trenta from where you follow the Soča Trail (‘Pot Soča’) downstream, along the valley. Enjoy forests, lush meadows and river views before ascending to a waterfall. Pass farms and small settlements to reach the Soča gorge, which you walk alongside. In some places the gorge is only 2 metres wide. Following the river, which you cross several times on pedestrian suspension bridges, you walk beside the Krsovec gorge and finally leave the river to ascend to Bovec.
Day 5 : Bovec To Trnovo (Ribcev Laz)
Location: Bovec
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Leaving Bovec, you walk through woods and pastures until you reach the impressive Slap Boka waterfall, the highest in Slovenia at 144 metres. Cross the Soča River and after passing through the village of Log Cezsoski, walk along the valley on a gravel track, sometimes close to the river. You pass a 63m long suspension bridge, a great place for a picnic and to watch rafts and kayakers below. A transfer takes you to Ribcev Laz for your next 3 nights.
Day 6 : Lake Bohinj And Savica Waterfall
Location: Lake Bohinj
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
The obvious introductory walk to the Bohinj area and one which should not be missed. This is a simple walk on level, mostly good paths but with short sections of tree roots and rocks towards the far end of the north (better) shore. It can be combined with the Savica Waterfall route and - particularly if that combination should prove too long - you can return from Ukanc by bus or boat. To add to the variety, swimmers may indulge themselves as the lake's waters are warm in summer.
Day 7 : Mostnica River And Gorge
Location: Ribcev Laz
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Today you'll follow a wonderfully sculptured narrow limestone gorge with green pools and rapids before entering a lovely alpine pasture full of wild flowers in late spring. There is a shady waterfall at the far end of the walk before returning to Ribcev Laz.
