Soca River info – all you need to know

Soča river is a 136 km long river that descends quickly from its source in Trenta towards the sea. Its typical green-blue colour does not fade away completely even in Friuli, as if it would tell us that its heart belongs to the mountains and that is where it reveals itself in all its beauty, childhood liveliness and original purity. Already its birth is turbulent and picturesque; it springs crystal clear from a dark karst crevice below Velika Dnina and after a short time it descends in a 15 m high waterfall.

On its journey towards the south over the millennia, the Soča has broken through the rocky obstacles that were in its way and in some areas created deep gorges that are so narrow in some places that it is impossible to jump across them. For people who live by the Soča, this river has a symbolic meaning - somewhere deep within the human spirit it occupies the place of an immortal memorial, representing natural perfection.

Visitors have to find out the rest by themselves from wherever they approach the river, be it by kayak or as hikers or observers, or even with the intention of capturing one of its famous Soča trout.
