The valley of the most beautiful Slovenian river and the peaks of the Julian Alps invite you into their embrace: on excursions, hiking and cycling tours, sightseeing and carefree lounging by the emerald pools. They invite you to an experience that creates unforgettable memories. Road congestion and noise do not belong in this sensitive natural environment, which falls under the auspices of the Julian Alps biosphere area.
In order to reduce the traffic load, take advantage of the summer offer of public transport in the Soča Valley.
Check out the rich list of Hop-on Hop-offs and Shuttle connections and other (cross-border) lines:
The bus leads to the parking lot in front of the last tunnel. From there it is a 30-40 minute walk past the hut to the Mangart saddle. We recommend hiking shoes.
When we reach the village of Plužna by bus, we take a 15-20 minute walk to the Virje waterfall. We recommend hiking shoes.
