3-Day Private Trekking Adventure from Bohinj to Soča Valley
4.0
4 reviews

While our main goal is to have fun on the trail and enjoy stunning views along the way, our knowledgeable guides will also present the history of the place. Since many sections of our trek overlap with the 500-km-long Walk of Peace, we'll get to know about WWI in the Slovenian Alps, about how and where the soldiers fought and lived, and see exhibited remains along the way. Our groups are small (on average 4-6 participants), which means we can be very flexible. We make many stops if needed, adjust the pace of the group, and adjust the itinerary according to the group's wishes.
