Soča Trail with Johannes

MOUNTAIN TEA, HOMEMADE BISCUITS AND NATURE SOUNDS

We will explore the most beautiful and lesser-known parts of the Soča trail, with several stops to enjoy the sounds of nature. Your experienced guide will tell you everything about local favorites, flora and geology along the way. To make the experience complete, a snack with mountain tea and homemade cookies awaits you at one of the picturesque locations.

Soča trail is available in three different lengths, so it is suitable as a short trip for beginners or a longer tour for more experienced hikers. The hikes are available in any weather (we also hike in the rain). Due to the natural topography of the valley, good opportunities for circular hikes are very rare. So to avoid returning along the same route, we prefer to explore a larger part of the valley and take you back to Residence Soča after the hike.
