Our journey kicks off in Bovec, from where we’ll head towards one of Slovenia’s most beautiful waterfalls – Virje waterfall. After seing this magnificent waterfall our journey will continue to the Boka waterfall. We will take time to capture some photographs and later head to another magical place. Not even five minutes being on the E-bike we will arrive to the exact place where a part of Cronicles of Narnia (Prince Caspian) was filmed. Here you can let your imagination run wild and relish the experience of standing in the footsteps of cinematic heroes. With hearts full of wonder we’ll continue our way along the emerald Soča river. We will make a break at a charming little picnic place, where we'll fuel up with some local salami, cheese and a localy made apple strudel making sure we have enough energy to continue our way to the Šunik water grove. After we'll take a break for simming at the Great Soča Gorge. Having spent some time here, we’ll continue our journey back to Bovec.
