Going down the pass we’ll stop at the Great Soča Gorge, an impressive stretch of emerald river carved into narrow rock formations. After a brief stop in the town of Bovec, we’ll visit Virje Waterfall (20 min walk), a peaceful spot hidden in the forest, followed by a viewpoint at Boka Waterfall, the most powerful waterfall in Slovenia.
Kozjak waterfall and tolmin gorge
We’ll continue the tour to Kozjak Waterfall (1h walk), reached by a scenic walkway along wooden bridges and forest trails. After the visit, you’ll have time for an optional lunch break. Our last stop is Tolmin Gorge, where a circular trail (1,5 h – 2 h of walking) leads through narrow passages, turquoise pools, and the iconic Devil’s Bridge.
From Tolmin we have about 2 hours drive back to Ljubljana. Please note there’s about 3 hours of walking included in this tour as the only way to get to some of the Gorges and Waterfalls is by foot.
