adriabike 02 - The upper Soča valley

You are at Most na Soči, where the Idrijca plunges into the Soča: it is one of the main European prehistoric areas, as you will discover at the local Archaeological Museum.You follow the upper course of the Soča which, thanks to the many rapids, is paradise for those who love water sports like rafting, kayak, canoeing and hydro speed: it is a well-loved territory for the numerous fans of these sports. At Tolmin – known for its eighteenth century peasant revolt – you can find the Ethnographic Museum, the remains of a medieval castle and the magnificent Devil’s Bridge. Then you cross the river, thanks to the big Napoleonic arched stone bridge, reaching Kobarid, known for the famous retreat in November 1917, remembered in the local museum and the nearby St. Anthony’s memorial. From here those who are better trained can go up towards the source of the Soča, where there is the chance to visit the Boka waterfall. Now there is just one more hill towards Bovec. Then you return to Kobarid.

Conditions: almost all the route is on asphalted road with mixed traffic
