In my opinion, the Soča region is the most beautiful part of Slovenia, and I dare say it is one of the most beautiful parts of this region of Europe. Kobarid is a place where you will find a plethora of activities, sights, and experiences to explore in this natural gem.
I have designed a plan for "getting to know" Kobarid in a way that introduces easier, family-friendly destinations first, followed by moderately challenging sights, and concluding with trails leading to altitudes of up to 2,244 meters above sea level.
Family trips:
A wonderful circular tour of sights near Kobarid - Kozjak waterfall
- Circular route time: approx. 2 hours
- Difficulty of the route: easy path
- Starting point: Italian ossuary (46.247, 13.583)
