Cycling day trip from Bovec to Kobarid

This ride takes you from the adventure-loving town of Bovec to the historic settlement of Kobarid, both nestled in Slovenia’s stunning Soča Valley. The route is around 23 km and offers a little bit of everything—lush valley views, mountain backdrops, and a mix of surfaces for added spice: expect a good amount of asphalt but also scenic stretches of gravel and unpaved road. There’s quite a bit of climbing (and descending!) packed in, so make sure your legs are ready.

Bovec is famous for outdoor sports, especially rafting and hiking, while Kobarid is known for its WWI history and delicious local cuisine (definitely try the famous Kobarid dumplings when you arrive!). Along the way, you’ll ride on quiet country tracks and occasionally busier roads, but the traffic is generally light and the scenery makes it well worth the ride. Take your time—this route is all about savoring the landscape and enjoying a slice of Slovenian adventure!
