Slovenia is fit, a fact shown by its numerous sports events. Under the leadership of experienced guides, the Soča Valley transforms in autumn into a hiking paradise, since the popular Hiking Festival is held in the area from 19 September to 5 October. It includes organised hiking tours, which are perfect both for families as well as more advanced mountain lovers. In addition to recreation in nature, the festival is also the perfect chance to visit many photography and museum exhibitions or listen to the stories of successful Slovenian mountain climbers. No visitor will leave hungry, either. The famous restaurants in Kobarid (Jazbec Restaurant, Breza Restaurant, Topli val Restaurant, Kotlar Restaurant, and Hiša Franko Restaurant) invite visitors from 5 September to 6 October to feast upon the autumn delicacies - a month of local culinary specialties. Fresh trout dishes and traditional Kobarid dumplings will be taking centre stage.
Have you already taken a walk along the emerald green Soča River from its spring in Triglav National park to its mouth in the nature reserve in the Gulf of Trieste? Experience Slovenia and Italy through the Walk of Peace, which connects the First World War heritage from the Alps to the Adriatic. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, in which more than 17 nations fought for the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The Walk of Peace information centre is your one-stop spot for all experiences from the Alps to the Adriatic. Guides and consultants are always on hand to help you plan your trip and provide a bit of information on personal collections. The Walk of Peace offers visitors not only a journey into the turbulent history of the area, but also into the natural sanctuary and the arms of hospitable locals. You can get to know them through the "Soča, do tell" brochure.

Passionate hikers at heart can undertake the thrilling Alpe Adria trail, stretching 690 kilometres from the foothills of the magnificent Veliki Klek to the sky-blue sea, weaving its way through three countries, namely Slovenia, Austria and Italy.
