A story of the Alps protected by the Goldenhorn

The Goldenhorn is a fairy-tale chamois buck with golden horns that protects the treasures of the Alps and Triglav National Park. It is white like the mountain peaks of Slovenia. The highest one among them is Triglav measuring 2,864 metres, which is also featured in the national coat-of-arms. Experience open mountain panoramas and friendly villages in the geographical triangle between Slovenia, Italy and Austria. The world-renowned emerald Alpine Soča River also springs in Triglav National Park. Check our seven tourist packages and enjoy the thrill of kayaking, rafting, zip lining and numerous other adventures in the north-western Slovenia.

All those who get to see the Soča with their own eyes leave with the stunning colour and energy of one of Europe’s most beautiful rivers imprinted in their mind. In the northwest of Slovenia, at the heart of the Julian Alps, the Soča River rushes from its source in the karstic rock. The gushing mountain stream courses downstream to its emerald playground, with its beloved pools and rapids ranging from Bovec to Kobarid and Tolmin. This is the home of white-water sports, and as such is the sporting heart of the Soča valley. This heart beats just as strongly above the water’s surface. Take off on foot or pedal your bike on one of the endless marked trails. Between the mountains and the sea the Walk of Peace from the Alps to the Adriatic winds through the remnants and remains of the military battles waged a century ago during WWI. Wonderful views make one fly to the emeralds glistening in Soča and all around. Fall in love with life in the world’s best spot for water sports and outdoor experience!
