Scenic train, Emerald River, Triglav National Park & Soča valley

Emerald River Tour begins at 7:15 a.m.

Just before Vršič pass in Kranjska Gora lies Jasna lake. There are walking paths around the lake, which has very clear, green and very cold water. At the lake shore stands a statue of the legendary Zlatorog (mountain goat), a perfect photo opportunity for your album.

Vršič is the highest mountain pass in eastern Julian Alps. The road over the pass was built by Russian prisoners of war during the WWI. Today there is a Russian Chapel built in memory of those prisoners of war and all casualties of WWI. The Chapel is a reminder of the nonsense of world wars.

The source of Soča river after which Emerald River Tour got its name is one of the most beautiful karst sources in our mountains. To see the source of Soča river we will take a 15 minute walk from the Cottage at the source of Soča river. The trail is maintained and partly secured with pitons and steel cables.

Boka is a karst water source, a waterfall and a swift mountain stream, a tributary of Soča river. Boka waterfall is 106 meter high and 18 meters wide and is the most magnificent waterfall in Slovenija and in Europe. If you add the 33 meter high cascade under it, this is probably the highest waterfall in Slovenia (139 meters).

Choose between Zipline in Bovec (the biggest Zipline park in this part of Europe) or if you dare jump from 4000m go for Skydiving. You can also decide to do nothing and spend that time visiting one extra waterfall nearby with our guide.

Napoleon’s Bridge is a graduated stone bridge over the narrow canyon of Nadiža river, built around 1812 and is a testimony to importance of this transit area from the Roman times onward. The ancient trail from Pradola and Robidišče towards Nadiža runs over the bridge. Kozjak waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Triglav National Park. The waterfall carved a dark chamber but the ceiling has caved in and the chamber is now a pool of blue-green water.

Stands at confluence of rivers Soča and Idrijca. When they built the dam on Soča river for the hydro power plant, a reservoir formed here. The beautiful pristine nature, clear lake water and numerous water fowl are incentive enough to visit the Most na Soči lake. Auto Train The famed railway track built in 1906 connects Most na Soči and Bohinjska Bistrica. With its quaintness, viaducts and the longest railway tunnel in Slovenia (6327 meters) it will enchant everybody.

Bohinj Lake with its 3,19 km2 is the largest permanent natural lake in Slovenia. It lies in Julian Alps at 526 meters above sea level between Pršivec to the North and Vogel to the South. This is one of the most beautiful lakes in Triglav National Park and also the last guided stop on Emerald River Tour.
