This is the place where the most beautiful and wild Slovene river comes to the surface and starts its 138 km long journey …
On the Bovec-Vršič road, turn left at the 49th hairpin bend in the direction of the road to Vršič. There is a marked trail that leads from the Cabin at the Source of the Soča River that will take you to the source in 15 minutes. The trail is maintained but very demanding in the upper part, protected with wedges and wire ropes. You will need suitable footwear and adequate physical condition.
Nearby, you can see the dr. Julius Kugy monument. He was a legendary poet, writer, alpinist and a big fan of the Julian Alps.
