Again sunny Sunday. So we decided to take mini rafts and go down the river bed of Soča.
The Soča (Slovene) or Isonzo (Italian) is a 138 km (86 mi) long river that flows through western Slovenia (96 kilometres or 60 miles) and northeastern Italy (43 kilometres or 27 miles).
Due to its emerald-green water, the river is marketed as "The Emerald Beauty." It is said to be one of the rare rivers in the world that retain such a colour throughout their length.
The Soča inspired the poet Simon Gregorčič to write his best-known poem Soči (To the Soca), one of the masterpieces of Slovene poetry.
This region served as a location for the 2008 Disney film Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.[8]
The Soča is also well known for its unique trout species Salmo marmoratus (known as the marble trout), which lives in the upper course of the crystal-clear river. This species is endangered due to the introduction of other non-indigenous trout species sometime between World War I and World War II.
And off we went. :)
On the riverbed Kamno - Tolmin are located few rapids and a lot of calm flow.
After 2,5h on the river we went to Bar Labrca to eat lunch. On the picture below is plate for two, called Tminski grof (the Tolmin count).
Rafting on Soča is a must do when you are in Soča valley.
