Discovering the hidden corners of the Soča river valley is in itself a great adventure. But if we add to that a ride with Willys Jeep, the icon of the automotive world, we get an exceptional experience.
We will drive through fields, fragrant meadows, charming villages and colorful forests, until suddenly the beautiful Sopot waterfall appears in front of us. Stopping at a viewing platform, we will take some photos and then walk to its foothills where we will enjoy the beautiful view and the roar and the refreshing spray of the waterfall.
Not far away is the healing spring Dicova voda, which the locals have been using for centuries. We will treat ourselves to a short stop to taste and enjoy this healing water, followed by an exciting drive uphill to the edge of the Trnovo-Banjska plateau.
We will drive along a forest road with breathtaking views of the Julian Alps until we reach a charming mountain farm. In Široki we will treat ourselves to a snack of delicious and authentic home-made delicacies, and relax the soul and eyes in the exceptional beauty of the mountain panorama.
After the break, we descend into the valley to the Soča River, but only for a short time, as the path will take us high to the famous Kolovrat.
During the First World War, Kolovrat was the scene of fierce fighting, and today it is one of the most beautiful open-air museums. From here we are offered breathtaking views of the steep walls and high mountain peaks of the Alps on one side, and the Italian landscape and the Adriatic Sea on the other. After walking along the fortified defensive line, we will drive along the ridge of Kolovrat to a small mountain village, from where we will head back down to the valley.
In Kobarid we will make a short stop for refreshments and see the magnificent ossuary of Italian soldiers and the famous Napoleon Bridge over the Soča River.
As afternoon slowly turns into evening, it will be time to return to the starting point, where the day of extraordinary experiences will come to an end.
