About Bovec

Bovec (Italian: Plezzo, German: Flitsch, Friulian: Plèz) is a town in the Littoral region in northwestern Slovenia. It is the central settlement of the Municipality of Bovec. It has been traditionally part of the historic Gorizia region, but nowadays only a minority of locals share this identity, preferring to identify with the wider region of the Slovenian Littoral. Bovec basin was a glacially-formed lake during the last Ice Age. There are several spectacular gorges found in the area along various streams which resulted from a rapid - in geologic terms - subsidence of the Bovec basin. Here, just east of Bovec and the hamlet of Kal-Koritnica off the road to Vršic Pass is the 150 meter long gorge of Kršovec. The gorge narrows in some spots to only 1.5 meters wide in some places with a suspension bridge strategically placed enabling you to watch the tumbling waters below. With only one hairpin to go on the south side of Vršic Pass - between 49 and 50 - there is a turnoff for Koca pri izviru soca. A short drive brings you to a small parking lot - come early in the day if you can - by the mountain hut. The walk up to the source of the šoca is about 20 minutes with the last stretch being over aided sections complete with iron pegs and cables with some exposure. There is a memorial to the US 10th Mountain Division in the main square here in Bovec which remembers a post-WWII ski competition up on the slopes of the nearby Mangart. Having skied on the slopes in Colorado where the 10th Mountain Division had started from, it was fascinating to find myself where those men had ended their European tours while occupying the upper reaches of the Soèa and that they were fondly remembered by the locals here. A pleasant walk through the western part of the Bovec basin will take you past this little waterfall just downstream from the little stream's - Glijuna - source. Like many streams in the area, the Glijuna pops out as a ready-made stream. The pool at the base of the waterfall is perfect for sitting and contemplating. Turquoise waters serve as a home for foot-long trout. The walk is about 45 miles west of Bovec. This is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the whole country. The water comes out of the limestone rocks of the Kanin massif and bubbles forth just above the waterfall. The waterfall drops some 106 meters and, of course, is more spectacular in late spring or after a course of heavy rain.
