The valley of the Emerald River and Kranjska Gora

An emerald river surrounded by a forest.

Get ready for a journey through the heart of the Julian Alps, where wild nature intertwines with breathtaking views. Your path will lead you along the course of one of the world’s most beautiful rivers, over Slovenia’s highest mountain pass, all the way to the Alpine idyll of Kranjska Gora.

Our journey begins in the embrace of the magical Soča Valley, where emerald water whispers stories of days gone by. We will discover a hidden treasure near Kobarid – the Kozjak waterfall. A walk through a mystical forest will lead us into a stone amphitheatre where you will be left speechless: a 15-meter waterfall pours into a pool of unearthly turquoise. A scene straight out of a fairytale!

The path leads us onward towards Bovec, where we are greeted by the raw power of nature. We will stop beneath the magnificent Boka waterfall, Slovenia's most voluminous waterfall. The sight of the mighty, 106-meter-high curtain of water thundering into the depths is proof of the untamable force of the mountains and a scene that will be etched in your memory forever.

Next follows an unforgettable drive among the clouds – the ascent to the Vršič Pass (1611 m). This legendary road, with its serpentine turns, offers spectacular views of the peaks of the Julian Alps. We will visit the Russian Chapel and search for the face of the "Heathen Maiden" (Ajdovska deklica) in the rocks, all while breathing in the fresh mountain air.

For the perfect conclusion, we descend to the Gorenjska side, straight to Lake Jasna. The mighty peaks reflect in the crystal-clear water, while the legendary Goldhorn (Zlatorog) proudly guards the entrance to the valley. We will round off the day in Kranjska Gora, an Alpine pearl, where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest in an idyllic atmosphere.
