Trip Description
The red thread of our journey is the highest mountain passes of the Julian Alps and the extraordinary masterpieces of the high mountain road builders. One of the masterpieces is definitely Mangart Road, which takes us to a height of 2055 m, and during the drive we will admire incredible views.
It was built between I. and II. WW in just half a year, which is unimaginable from the point of view of today's technology and technique.
From the Mangart Pass we descend into the valley and here we will discover one of the most beautiful mountain rivers in the world, the Soča River.
The Soča Valley in Triglav National Park became world-famous mainly because of the unique emerald green color of the water, which is so clean that it can also be drunk.
The Soča Valley was also marked by the bloody Soča Front in the First World War and did not let go of its grip for three years. In the Soča Valley, the Soča Front left an indelible mark on the local environment, which is remembered by numerous memorials to fallen soldiers and military forts and bunkers.
The beauty and unspoilt nature of the Soča Valley will accompany us all the time until we drive over the famous Vršič Pass into the upper Sava Valley.
The local cuisine, where we will taste the traditional dishes of the upper Soška valley, will make our trip unforgettable.
Join us on this extraordinary adventure.
