The white water rafting on the Soca River is among the best in Europe. The mountain scenery is spectacular.
There are fast and furious stretches of the river, and other places where it is calm and the most beautiful turquoise colour, overlooked by summer meadows and snow-capped peaks.
Although most people use Bovec as a base, there is a better place to stay: Tolmin. It's friendly and cheap.
Soca Valley is an ideal place for spending active holidays. Its river attracts many watersports enthusiasts and the unique warm air current make the place a mecca for paragliders.
Mountainbiking on mountain paths above 1000m that date from WWI, the natural beauty and the peacefulness of the area makes it a perfect place for enjoying every moment.
