Srpenica · Soča Valley
the lowest way into Triglav National Park
Devil's Bridge sixty metres above the Tolminka, the Bear's Head wedged in the Zadlaščica canyon, and a thermal spring at 18.8-20.8 °C. Ticketed, and entry is limited - buy ahead in summer. Free parking at P2 (15 min walk) and P3 (30 min), paid at the entrance from Easter to 30 September, with a free shuttle in high season. Proper shoes; a child carrier rather than a pushchair. Open in rain, shut in storms or high water.
fifteen metres into a bowl of rock
Half an hour on an easy path of small wooden bridges, ending on a terrace facing the fall. Fine with children. No swimming in the pool beneath it - it is protected ground; get in the river instead. Free with the Julian Alps Card.
one of the highest falls in Slovenia, and the closest thing to the house
A steep walk up to the height of the fall from the road below. Srpenica is the closest village to it. Take care near the top: the path runs along a drop and there is nothing between you and it - keep well back from the edges.
the First World War, told from this valley
The Isonzo Front ran through these mountains, and the museum tells that story from the valley it happened in. Worth an hour or two, and the obvious thing to do on a day the weather has closed in.
