New cycling trail along Soča river

Green, active and healthy Slovenia is enriched by a new cycling trail connecting Solkan and Plave in the west of Slovenia. One of the most picturesque trails, it is 9270km long and runs alongside the beautiful emerald river Soča and the historical Bohinj Railway which is celebrating 110 years of history. On the two-way cycling trail, you can stop and recuperate at 7 resting places. The project began in 2013 and was partially financed with the help of European funds. The trail is part of the cycling connection Nova Gorica-Predel.
