Take an unforgettable hike past majestic rock walls and beautiful nature. Hike across a bridge that runs along an impressive rock face, make your way through a cave where the path winds through the roof and be enchanted by the serene tranquillity of the surroundings.

Dovžan Gorge
North of the town of Tržič, you will find a beautiful route between the mountain walls. A public road runs through the Dovžan Gorge. So you don’t need to buy a ticket for the Entrance. It is a beautiful area for a hike.
Rainfall in 2023 damaged the route. This reveals the power of water from this normally idyllic river Tržič Bistrica
.
The Soča Gorge (Small Soča Gorge)
The Soča River flows along the road from the Vrsič Pass towards Bovec. Halfway down, the river flows through a metre-deep gorge. Several bridges along the road allow you to see the clear blue water churning through the gorge.
A little further on, the gorge widens into a babbling river in which you can swim. The end of the narrow gorge offers a beautiful rock formation from which daredevils can take a dip.
Here you will find parking (paid) at the part where you can swim. You can also walk back along the gorge from there.
