More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a rocky bank and the Soča takes you — cold, playful, and a vivid green that seems to glow against the Alpine slopes. The first hour is a slow, scenic glide past pebble beaches and steep limestone faces; later the river tightens and the rafts meet classic whitewater that demands teamwork and attention.
