An insider tip for outdoor enthusiasts: 

THE SOČ A VALLEY. 

A paradise for whitewater rafters, hikers and fans of all other outdoor sports // Writer 

and mountain climber Julius Kugy once described the Soča as the most beautiful 

river in Europe. Naturally, as rafters, we want to find out for ourselves so we 

dive headfirst into another adventure. After all, the Ötz Valley and the Imster 

Canyon are not the only rafting destinations in the world! 

After looking at pictures of the area on the Internet, experiencing it live is a 

totally different kettle of fish. Even the colour of the Soč a is unique with its 

headwaters shimmering in every emerald tone possible! The whitewater rushes 

out through small rocky canyons across bedrock into deep pools, spreading 

across light gravel beds before forcefully crashing into the next gorge. 

The Soč a offers everything a whitewater enthusiast could dream of. Before we 

start off on our tour, we want to gain a first impression of the river. Is there 

any better way of doing this than by taking a hike along the Soč a trail? It’s an 

approximately 20 km hike along the banks of the river, which can be completed 

in one day. 

INTERESTING FACTS. 

CAMPSITE // Directly at the exit of the second and most picturesque gorge, you’ll 

find Camp Soč a, the large natural campsite. 

APARTMENTS // On a hidden elevated plain is the hotel village of Pristava Lepena 

where you can stay at one of the small traditional Trenta-style houses: 

www.pristava-lepena.com 

RESTAURANTS // Good food is available at gostišč e Hedvika in Kal Koritnica and at 

gostišč e gostisce mangrt in Log pod mangartom.

Tip 1 // Along Europe’s most beautiful river: 

THE SOČ A TRAIL. 

Our tour begins at the source of the Soč a // We are up and about relatively early 

as we don’t just want to hike, but also capture the area’s beauty on camera. We 

begin our tour at the exit of the Vršič pass and soon discover that October is the 

perfect time of year. The autumnal foliage is beautiful and provides an excellent 

backdrop for our pictures. We also notice that there are not many hikers on this 

trail so we are pretty much alone. Even better! 

Again and again we use suspension bridges to cross the Soč a. Slowly, the river 

turns from a small creek into a river. It runs through tight gorges and sun-drenched 

beds of gravel. Especially in the lower gorges, we are able to get really close to 

the beautiful Soč a. The crystal-clear, turquoise-coloured water is simply wonderful! 

At around noon we can no longer hold back and jump into the icy cold water 

wearing nothing but our birthday suits. Our “pool” is in a particularly beautiful 

location: at the exit of the Velika Korita gorge, shortly before the Lepenjica estuary.

Maybe we should have put on our swimming trunks // Just as we are about to come 

out of the water, a group of curious onlookers exits their tour bus, cameras at the 

ready. But it was probably more embarrassing for the tourists than it was for us. 

On we go! Refreshed and fully clothed we hike through the angled third gorge 

with a “bobsled run” at the exit. Tomorrow we want to take a rafting tour in the 

passage located behind this gorge. But we’ve done more than enough for today: 

we’ve been hiking for eight hours so now it’s time for something to eat. Our 

stomachs are rumbling! We decide to take a detour to the Hedvika restaurant in 

Kal Karitnica because we are craving freshly caught Soč a trout. We are served 

three excellent fish in almond butter and a refreshing Lasko Club beer. 

WE CAN NO LONGER RESIST THE TEMPTATION 

AND JUMP INTO THE FREEZING COLD WATER. 

The largest and most spectacular part of the Soč a Trail lies behind us. On the 

terrace of the cosy Gostišč e, we enjoy the wonderful October sun and then slowly 

continue on our journey. After the Koritnica estuary, it’s not much further to the 

bridge towards Č ezsoč a. From there, we follow a road to Bovec, our final destination 

for today. Soč a, we’ll be back – tomorrow!

Tip 2 // A must-see for every whitewater fan: 

RAFTING ON THE SOČ A. 

18 km of whitewater in unspoilt nature // This is something we definitely don’t want 

to miss. We rent the equipment in Bovec from Goran, an experienced white water 

specialist from Soč a Rafting. There’s nothing stopping us now. 

Of course, experiencing nature is first on our list, but that doesn’t mean we don’t 

want to have some whitewater fun. Our rafting tour begins after the third gorge. 

The Zmuklica embarking station has a cable car and is located upriver behind the 

bridge over the Koritnica. The trip gets off to a great start: with grade 3 rapids 

and ten out of ten for the stunning landscape! After Č ezsoč a, the Soč a turns into 

a fast-flowing river. Shortly afterwards we see the wonderful Boka waterfall that 

crashes out of the middle of a cliff from the Kanin mountains. 

THE TRIP GETS OFF TO A GREAT START: WITH GRADE 3 RA PIDS 

AND TEN OUT OF TEN FOR THE STUNNING LANDSCAPE! 

In the late afternoon, we pitch our tents on a spacious gravel bed. We still have 

one big tin of goulash, but after eating delicious trout the day before, nobody is in 

the mood for tinned food. Didn’t we just spot a few fishermen down by the river? 

Steffi uses her charm to our advantage and actually manages to return with three 

huge trout. We set up a campfire and cook the fish on sticks. The perfect way to 

keep our energy levels up for tomorrow’s challenge.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR THE SOČ A VALLEY. 

CANYONING // Aside from rafting and kayaking, canyoning is one of the most important whitewater sports in the 

valley of countless waterfalls. Guided tours are offered by, for example, Goran from Soča Rafting: www.socarafting.si 

MOUNTAIN BIKING // At Mt. Kanin there are single trains, longer tours and downhill runs for mountain bikers, and 

you can also transport your bike in the gondola: www.kanin.si. Discover detailed information and a new mountain 

bike guide online at: www.mtb-slowenien.de 

FLYING // The Soča Valley also offers excellent conditions for paragliding. A scenic flight in a sporting aircraft is 

also just as impressive. After our tour we took in a bird’s eye view of the Triglav National Park and were able to 

enjoy it twice as much: www.janezlet.si 

SKIING & SNOWBOARDING // We can particularly recommend Mt. Kanin in March when the ski lift is covered in snow 

and the valley has a green glow in the springtime sun. Attention all free riders: this mountain has deep crevices and 

trenches. Those looking for different variations would be better off consulting a local guide. 

The absolute highlight is still to come: the 4-person slalom run // We leave our tents 

where they are and begin the more physically demanding stage at around noon. 

The water runs through the boulders. Small steps, swirling currents and whirlpools 

turn the trip into a wild water ride. In October the water level is relatively 

low. We don’t want to imagine what we’d be faced with if we came during the 

thawing period! 

We see the jetty and it signals the beginning of the slalom run. Up until this point, 

we’d had everything under control. The last 800 metres are actually not suitable 

for rafts, but with a small boat we can defy Mother Nature. Let’s try it! However, 

first we want to check out the stretch on foot. For this purpose there is an excellent 

path that runs along the banks of the river. The ravine gets smaller, the blockage 

increases, the steps and reflux become more dangerous. Leftover concrete from a 

blown-up bridge mark the exit that we cannot afford to miss. The passage after 

this point is only safe for professional kayakers. 

But we still need to be careful on the slalom run: there are siphons everywhere! 

Only experienced rafters should dare to take to the water. After our thorough 

check, the rest of the trip transpires without any hitches. Only when getting out 

of the raft, Daniel slips and falls out. The rest of us see it as capsizing. And the 

rule is: anyone who capsizes has to pay for a round of beers that evening. But if 

you fall out of the raft when getting out, you have to pay for two rounds! While 

enjoying our free beers later on we relive the rafting trip and decide to take a 

kayak course in the valley next year. Once you’ve experienced Soč a, you’ll want 

to keep coming back for more!

Alaska Family DLX – the new two-room apartment tent // Perfect for families or small 

groups needing space while on holiday. 

Read more on the new Alaska Family DLX on page 94. 

For every tour you need 

A successful tour also depends on the selection of the right tent // The tent experts at 

TATONKA know this and have developed the perfect tent for each challenge – from 

small and light to big and comfortable. 

Outdoor enthusiasts who want to pack everything into their rucksacks pay more 

attention to the weight of the tent and less to the space. For example, Kiruna, 

from the TATONKA Highend line, is perfectly suited for this because it weighs in at 

only 2.25 kg. Travelling with children or friends means having extra space along 

in your luggage – just like the tunnel tent Alaska Family DLX which can be 

divided into two separate sleeping areas and offers room for up to six people. 

In warm or hot climates, optimal ventilation is paramount. For this reason, the 

Alaska 3 Vent tunnel tent enables you to roll up both outer tent sides and attach 

them at two different heights. 

The selection is large, making the right decision isn’t. If you have any questions, 

our consultants in your specialist outdoor shop will be happy to help you at any 

time so that you will always be sure to have the right roof over your head.

The detailed Tent ABC with numerous tips, tricks and professional care suggestions 

can be found in the TATONKA tent handbook which can be downloaded at: 

www.tatonka.com 

Guy ropes // Guy ropes help to make your tent stable when it’s blowing a gale and raining cats and dogs. The advantage of TATONKA 

tents is that they have a roll-up system for guy ropes, which makes taking them down a lot easier and prevents knots. For better 

visibility in the dark the ropes have reflective sleeves. 

Porch // The porch is the storage space for luggage in the tent between the inner tent and the entrance. A clean and dry storage 

space for everything that you don’t need inside the inner tent. 

Entrances // TATONKA inner tent entrances are wide and simple to use. Mosquito windows that can be closed separately and 

easily with one hand are basic features. When the tent is open the entrance section can be stowed away in the side pocket 

or rolled up and secured. 

Tent rods // What counts here is the highest quality. TATONKA uses YUNAN tent rods, since this manufacturer pays as much 

attention to high quality as they do to sustainable manufacturing processes. YUNAN supplies tent rods in two different 

aluminium alloys, which are used depending on the type of tent. Both are virtually break-proof, hollow, attached with a rubber 

band and in this way can be easily connected to each other. 

Tent pegs // There are different tent pegs for different types of ground. Our tents come with standard pegs. You can purchase 

special tent pegs for particularly sandy, hard or stony ground, or even snow. 

Vents // Vents are covered openings in the outer skin of the tent, which provide air circulation. They are separately tensioned 

and waterproof. Thanks to a stiff fabric band TATONKA vents can be positioned easily, even after intense use. Mosquito windows 

and tension points are standard features on our tents; vents that can be closed from the inside are available exclusively in our 

Highend collection. 

Product care // Please ensure that your tent is completely dry when storing. This will help in avoiding damages to the coating. 

Tents should be washed by hand and never in the washing machine. Erecting the tent in a shady location and using ground 

sheets help protect your material on your tours. 

Pockets // Pockets offer storage space and help you to keep your tent tidy. Side pockets at head height (when lying down) are 

perfect for storing items such as spectacles. Almost all of our tents with porch have an additional detachable porch pocket 

and a roof pocket for sunglasses, insect spray or other odds and ends. 

Ground sheets // Ground sheets protect the base of the tent from damages caused by stones, branches, etc., and also fend off 

cold and wetness for a long time. The ground sheet should not be bigger than the guyed outer tent, to avoid funnel effects. 

Porch ground sheets make the porch a clean and dry storage space, even when the weather is bad and the ground is damp. 

UV radiation // Tent materials, especially the outer fabric, are subject to an ageing process and lose their resistance over time. 

The main cause of this is UV radiation. Tents with silicone coating are far more resistant than those with PU coating. So it’s 

best to choose a shady spot to pitch up your tent to avoid any risks. 

Waterproof // No tent is 100 per cent waterproof, since water seeps through connecting points, seams and zip fasteners. However, 

these areas also allow water to escape to the outside – which is an important consideration in the overall condensation 

process. 

Water column // The water column is a measure of how high the water pressure can be before the fabric lets in moisture. According 

to DIN, a value of 1 500 mm is classified as waterproof. But a water column measurement is not always a sign of quality. The outer 

tents of our Highend series with 1 500 mm have a much lower water column than our all-round tents (8 000 mm) – but their special 

coating means that drops of water drip off immediately and therefore guarantees a 100 % watertight surface. TATONKA ground sheets 

have a water column of 10 000 mm (all-round) or 8 000 mm (Highend).

TATONKA Tents 

IN FORM AND FUNCTION 

Dome and geodesic tents are self-carrying tents whose form is created by arched 

tent rods that cross at one or more points. This design has a high degree of builtin 

stability during storms or when carrying the weight of snow. Because of the 

smaller base area in comparison to tunnel tents, domes are perfect for tours in 

rocky or mountainous areas as well as for warm areas, since the inner tent can 

also be erected on its own. 

Tunnel tents are held by at least two parallel erected tent rod arches that are tensioned 

laterally. Of all the tent types, the tunnel tents offer the best use of space 

and at the same time they are very lightweight. The ability to quickly erect and 

dismantle the tents makes them the perfect companion for trips into areas with 

unstable weather. 

UNIVERSAL ALL-ROUND TENTS & SPECIAL HIGHEND MODELS 

TATONKA offers the perfect tent for every use. The lightweight and robust all-round 

tents are ideally suited for tours under normal weather conditions. The inner 

tents are made of 190T Ripstop Nylon W/R and especially breathable. The outer 

tent is made of Polyester material, has four-layer PU coating on the inside and a 

water column of 8 000 mm. The material is non-fading and UV-resistant. The 

anodised aluminium tent rods are virtually break-proof. 

The robust and tear-proof Highend tents are perfect for extended tours and frequent 

camping trips – even under extreme weather conditions. The inner tent is made 

of 30D Nylon Ripstop W/R, which is waterproof, breathable and especially lightweight. 

The outer tent is made of Nylon 6.6 Ripstop Silicone and is also very lightweight 

and is especially tear-proof. The five-layer coating with silicone elastomer 

makes the material waterproof and ensures that water easily beads and rolls off. 

The scandium tent rods are highly stable and lightweight.

Weight: 3.60 kg / 4.00 kg 


MOUNTAIN DOME 

Classic dome tent for two people. The rectangular inner tent, which can be used alone if the 

weather is good, is simply covered hexagonally with the outer tent. This creates two entrances, 

each one with a porch. The inner tent has collapsible mosquito windows and suspension points for 

a roof pocket. Two air vents in the outer and inner tent ensure sufficient influx of fresh air. And 

so that you find your way in and out and around the tent when darkness falls, there are reflectors 

on the tent cords which are always visible when using a torch light.

Light dome tent for two people. This lightweight variation is only made from materials from 

the nylon series – from the ultra-light outer fabric to the scandium frame. The outer tent is made of 

the high quality base material 6.6 Ripstop nylon, which has a total of five layers of silicone on both 

sides. This makes the outer shell very strong and gives it excellent beading behaviour. The min imum 

thickness of 1 500 mm/water column is therefore easily achieved, even with very thin layers.

Stable and resistant tunnel tent. The Narvik models are suitable for two or three people. 

The inner tent is already suspended in the outer tent, but can be quickly detached if required. 

One feature that you will certainly appreciate in the rain, as the inner tent stays dry. An another 

not to be overlooked advantage is the smaller rear rod, which makes the tent lighter and smaller 

to pack up – without having to accept any losses in sleeping comfort and area usage. Thanks 

to the many tension points and robust workmanship, Narvik is a reliable form of accommodation, 

whatever the weather.

Especially light and uncomplicated tunnel tent in two sizes. Suitable for two or three people 

sleeping lengthwise. If you also prefer to have separate living and sleeping areas when you’re in 

the great outdoors and yet still want to stay compact, Grönland is the tent for you. The extended 

front arch makes the porch a practical porch that can easily be used as a cosy cooking area in bad 

weather (kitchen not included). The back arch has been shortened – which makes a huge difference 

to the weight and packing size.

Tunnel tent and a reliable shelter from the rain. Tape-sealed seams, waterproof covers vents 

and attachment points – and like all TATONKA tunnel tents the outer tent of the Arctis models can 

be left out in the rain when dismantling, while the dry inner tent can be put away. And what you 

wouldn’t guess from its weight and compactness: the tunnel construction with its steep outside

Tunnel tent classic in various sizes. Due to their porches with side entrance, the popular tunnel 

tents from the Alaska series are especially spacious. Another advantage is that its occupants sleep 

lengthways, which makes getting in and out a whole lot easier. In the XL version with a 20 cm 

longer inner tent, taller people also enjoy more sleeping comfort and those who find it impossible 

to travel lightly will appreciate the extra storage space. The Alaska tents also offer further benefits: 

a second entrance on the back for ventilation, closable air vents on both entrances, mosquito
