If you are far away from being a hiker who loves up and downs you can start to train yourself with SOČA TRAIL hike.
The Soča trail runs along the Soča River from its source to the town of Bovec. It connects all natural wonders in Upper Soča valley which every tourist wants to see. The trail is popular for its picturesque suspension footbridges.
The trail is 25 km long and it is part of Alpe-Adria-Trail, an international track connecting the highest summit of Austria with Adriatic sea. The Soča Trial is considered by many to be the most beautiful section of the entire trail.
1st main attraction is the source of the river itself. Short hike up to the karstic phenomena requires lots of concentration. Hold the wires and mind your step. After 20 min you reach the permanent spring where the Soča gushes out of the abyss in a subterranean lake
.
Start your walk down along the river…
you can’t always wait for a perfect time, sometimes you must dare to jump.
