Julian Alps, 1600 ft
The water kingdom of the Julian Alps
The picturesque village of Bovec lies
between the mountains and rivers of
the Julian Alps on the doorstep of
Triglav National Park. An outstanding
and unspoiled natural beauty, Bovec
welcomes nature lovers, walkers, anglers,
cyclists and canoeists - there is truly
something for everybody . Stroll through
the village and admire its gothic churches
and traditional houses, browse in little
shops or stop for a traditional meal
in one of its restaurants. A ‘must
see’ are walks to the source of the
river Soca, the three crystal lakes
of Kriz, high above Tretna valley or the gorges of Mlinarica carved out by the river Soca. If you are in need of culture, experience the World War I Cemetery and Kluze fortress, remnants of one of World War 1’s most active fronts between Austria and Italy.
