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

RAFTING ON THE SOČ A.<br />

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

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

specialist from Soč a Rafting. There’s nothing stopping us now.<br />

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

want to have some whitewater fun. Our rafting tour begins after the third gorge.<br />

The Zmuklica embarking station has a cable car and is located upriver behind the<br />

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

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

a fast-flowing river. Shortly afterwards we see the wonderful Boka waterfall that<br />

crashes out of the middle of a cliff from the Kanin mountains.<br />

THE TRIP GETS OFF TO A GREAT START: WITH GRADE 3 RA PIDS<br />

AND TEN OUT OF TEN FOR THE STUNNING LANDSCAPE!<br />

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

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

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

Steffi uses her charm to our advantage and actually manages to return with three<br />

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

keep our energy levels up for tomorrow’s challenge.
