This private trip from Ljubljana to the Julian Alps and to the most beautiful emerald river in the world, spectacular waterfalls and mountains is conducted by our team of local travel experts.
The tour will take us from Ljubljana to Julian Alps, up to Vršič Pass - one of the most popular mountain passes in the country, which lies at 1600 m (5250 ft). The spectacular drive up follows a road built during WWI and offers incredible views of the mountains as well as remarkable war time stories.Note: The rest of the tour duration is spent for transport to get from once place to the other.
Descending down from Vršič Pass, we will enter Trenta Valley, the source of Soča River. Soča is often named the most beautiful river in Slovenia and boasts a unique emerald colour. It’s a popular summer destination for both nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. We will follow its course to the Soča River Gorge, where over thousands of years, the river carved into the pure white limestone and created a magnificent crevice.
Your guide will take you to a nearby waterfall. A popular stop in Bovec, it cascades in many strands of water over a 12 meter (40 feet) tall cliff into a beautiful green pool.
If you love waterfalls, we have another treat for you: the waterfall with most water in Slovenia is close by and our path will take us there as well.
The Julian Alps stretch further into neighboring Italy. We will take another mountain pass across the border - Mangart Saddle
The Julian Alps stretch further into neighbouring Italy. We will take another mountain pass across the border and stop by Lake Predil, set in a picturesque valley beneath the Kanin massif. Then we will loop back to Slovenia via the top north-western corner and arrive back to Ljubljana enjoyably tired, but left with some of the best memories you can make in Slovenia.
