Idyllic alpine village where you can take a walk through the old part of the city.

Zelenci Springs, a nature reserve near the town of Kranjska Gora will leave you speechless.

The road to Vršič was built by 10,000 Russian prisoners during the First World War, and in March 1916 a huge landslide buried hundreds of soldiers, according to locals, about 600 died at the time. In memory of all casualties, Russian Chapel was built. A memorial service is held every year at the end of July and In 2016, it was also attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

One of the most beautiful works of art designed by nature can be found right on the way to Vršič. The stone face of the “Ajdovska deklica” in the northern wall of Prisank is best seen from the lookout hill at Poštarska koča na Vršiču, and it is also visible from Erjavčeva koča. Legend says that a mythical creature, a buckwheat girl, prophesied to the hunter’s son that he would shoot the Golden Horn. Other buckwheat wives became angry at this inadmissible prophecy and turned the prophetess into a rock. You can enjoy a mountain lunch at the view point.

After adventures from Vršič it starts descends slowly along serpentines. In addition to the source of the Soča, the valley of the Last Trenta is also worth a visit, where, among other things, Kekec’s homestead is arranged, next to which one of the films about Kekec was made.

The Tolmin Gorge is a common name for the “Tolminka” and “Zadlascica Gorges”, which are one of the most magnificent natural attractions in Tolmin.

Over the mountains you will go towards Bohinjska Bistrica and return home.
