Cycling day trip from Bovec to Tolmin

Get ready for an awesome ride from Bovec to Tolmin! This 39 km route takes you through the stunning Soča Valley, known for its emerald-green river and epic mountain views. You’ll start off in Bovec, a small adventure hub famous for kayaking, hiking, and its WWI history. The first part of the ride gives you a good climb—expect some solid ascents and rewarding descents, with elevation topping out just under 500 meters.
