Soca, eisblau und grün
Am Sonntag besetzen wir einen perfekten Platz auf dem Campingplatz nahe Bovic: genau auf der Spitze, am Zusammenfluss von Soca und ? (einem bei google maps namenlosen Fluss) Blick auf eisblau-türkise Flüsse, weiße Steine, Berge, ... Wir ...
Oberlauf, wow, wow, wow
Im Oberlauf hat sich der eisblaue Fluss tief zwischen die Felsen eingegraben und bizarre Formen herausgearbeitet. Tlw. stehen wir 20 Meter über dem Wasser, die Einschnitte oben manchmal nur einen Meter breit, unten tost der Fluss. In den ...
Where's the beef?
... , almost like the color of the sky when the sun is out and it's at it's lightest possible blue color. Bovec is the extreme sports capital of Slovenia. I was so close to canceling our next hotel to stay here one night to raft in the ...
Hiking and rafting the Soca
... the next departure my way, I got on the 8ish train to Most na Soci, the point at which you change train for bus to Bovec. Irritatingly, the journey involved going about twice as far as I had to, but I guess better that way than driving a road through the ...
Adventure!
... through, but I suppose the guide knows best, as it's on his head if anything goes wrong! So by the time we had driven to Bovec, where the rafting left from, we had over an hour to kill. Cue the hot chocolate in a cafe, methinks. Slightly warmed up, ...
Into the Depths of Hell onto Narnia
... a sitting room; a bathtub - we took it for two nights instead of one. 1 full day of rafting and exploring? Yes, please. Bovec is partially where Prince Caspian was filmed. Yet again I was in literary heaven and exploring was easy. Next time we ...
Please keep your headlights on at all times
... Udine, onto very small roads with virtually no traffic at all once we got into the Julian Alps, that form a natural border between Italy and Slovenia. For about an hour we saw only 7 or 8 cars, all of them going in our direction, I let most of them ...
Driving through Slovenia

Walk, Chess, Pizza and Beer
... take us to a waterfall, although the guy wasn't sure if it would be frozen or not. So headed off up and out of Bovec, following a road winding up the mountain a little. From here it turned into a dirt track through the valley which looked very mystical on ...
Driving to Bovec, Slovenia
... a restaurant bar place where we had pasta and the guys had a bunch of wine. Then we hit the road for Slovenia. The drive was gorgeous and we drove past one of the locations used to film Prince of Caspian (the latest Narnia movie). ...
World above the clouds
... do it now, however finding it hard to progress as there's only really this run on the Slovenian side that we can do. It seems Bovec is not the best place to learn snowboarding! All the runs are too steep for beginners. But we are giving it our best shot! ...
"El Descanso"
... par de grados sobre los 0, bajandome de un tren a la espera de un bus que me lleve a otro punto minusculo del mapa, Bovec. Y cuando logro llegar, despues de horas de espera en que me cuestione que estaba haciendo metida en una tormenta en medio de la ...
Cushions n caves
... and all made it down through the darkness still intact! It was then the 20 minute walk back to the jeep before driving back to Bovec. Roly decided he needed a beer so we joined him for a couple in a bar close to our apartment. Had some pretty tasty local ...
Slovenian Alps, Vancouver Weather Style
... we couldn't leave the Julian Alps without attempting a hike of substance, despite the foreboding forecast Krnsko Lake is Slovenia's highest lake and reaching it meant climbing 700 meters of switchback after switchback. I think for the first time in my ...

Canyoning and biking and trout
... finish point safely. Luke braved the front seat and got the most white water of us all... in his face. We were dropped in Bovec town for the bus in good time so felt happy... until we realised that we didn't have enough cash and after trying all the ...
Hot Hungary, Romanian roads, and stunning Slovenia
... sleep with that racket going on! From Romania, we have gradually made our way west thru Zagreb (Croatia) and over to Slovenia, and unfortunately the start of Western-like prices...the days of 20p pints are now gone :( Slovenia is a beautiful country, ...
Snow shoeing
... Then went on a bit further and higher before having to turn back and begin the descent down to the car. We then travelled back to Bovec to enjoy a hot chocolate in the cafe before parting ways for a rest and shower! So AP and I have just cooked and eaten ...
Bovec sports weekend
Came from Venice and stayd in Boved for 4 nights. Such a wonderful place to be, surrounded by wonderful nature and mountains - and a whole lot of sport activities to chose from. We went for both paddling and rafting in the fabulous and icecold Soca ...
Concussion!
Ok so today was a bad day. Last day of boarding as our ski pass runs out, so had the usual start making sure we were nice and early to make the most of the day. Another cloudy morning but as we had learnt from the past couple of days, no problem the ...
Rain, Italian Olympics and the white water

First day Boarding
Woke up nice and early so that we could catch the first ski bus at just before 8am. Had a hearty bowl of porridge to fuel our morning and then layered up in preparation for the snow! Short walk to one of the hotels where the ski bus picked us up, and 2 ...
Bussin' the Vrsic Pass
Another 2 hour bus gap, so I had dinner in Bovec - on the other side of the mountains. This view is much prettier since I get a straight shot up the Soca River Valley to the snow covered (yeah - still snow covered - just like Green Bay) mountains. ...
Bovec rafting
... Bovec to go rafting! To get there we had to drive through the extremely scenic Vrsic pass (the highest mountain road in all of Slovenia) which rises up to 1611 meters in a series of 50 hairpin bends, before descending into the Soca Valley. We made it to ...
Soca Valley and the Julian Alps
I left beautiful little Piran on Wednesday - its a Peninsula that juts into the sea - very old and colourful with narrow little streets. I made 4 very good friends there. I am now in the beautiful Julian Alps. I did a 15 mile walk today along the ...
Ow my ass!!!
... And even Adams bum is smarting. So headed back down, bumping into Nate our rafting instructor from the summer! Then wandered through Bovec asking in every shop for some 'bum protection' but unfortunately all we got was weird looks or laughter. So back to ...
Waterfall at Bovec
... long way.. We go for a walk and are highly impressed by the vegetable gardens everywhere. We keep our own vegetable garden at home, but compared to this…?! Veggies are HUGE in Slovenia, and the gardens are well kept with dedication and ...
Off we snow!!
... set off to Stansted airport. Here we enjoyed a big breakfast in Frankie & Bennys while awaiting our 7:45am flight to Llubljana (Slovenia's capital). Managed to get a teeny bit of shut eye on the plane, but enjoyed the last part gazing out of the ...
