Also this year, štrukelj,a traditional rolled pasta from Kobarid, is the main star of Jestival, which combines great local food with fun for young and old. Local chefs and artists will create, exhibit and exchange inspirations. Creative workshops, discussions and exhibitions will supplement the offer of superb dishes, local products and produce, which are already well-known to the fans of Jestival.

The small town of Kobarid, set along the emerald Soča River features large number of inns and restaurants. Thus, the event will really be something special for your taste buds. It will feature chefs from Hiša Franko (Ana Roš and Valter Kramar), Polonka Restaurant and Topli val (Family Hvala&Marksl) Restaurant. Traditional local cuisine will be presented by local inns and tourist farms, such as Jelenov breg pod Matajurjem. Local associations will bring their home produce and products. The boutique stand by the Faronika will offer fish products. 

From 21 September to 7 October, the traditional Hiking Festival also takes place in the Soča Valley. Organized tours and hikes with experienced guides show the beauties of nature and the memories of the turbulent past, especially the times of World War I and the Isonzo Front.
