Giro Slap Virje

Bovec

The circular route from Bovec below the Kanin massif via Plužna and Slap Virje is a varied trail adventure that also offers a chance to cool off at countless pools and streams, especially on warm days.

Description

Start in Bovec and tackle the uphill initially on asphalt and later on gravel. The route climbs steadily up to the second station of the Kanin cable car before reaching the end point of the tour at the small parking lot at just under 1000 meters above sea level. This is where the trail descent begins, offering an interesting mix of S2 and occasional S3 sections. Typical for the region, a trail is circled on limestone with countless beech forest leaves, which requires concentration. At Plužna, the route continues towards Slap Virje. There is a reservoir here that supplies a hydroelectric power plant. On hot days, the countless pools are perfect for cooling off. The route then continues along the power station along the concrete path before the trail truncates on difficulty levels S1 to S2 to the Boka waterfall. A breathtaking waterfall with a drop of several hundred meters is an absolute highlight, especially on watery days. From this point, the route continues directly to Soča, where the next natural gem is located. There is a dreamlike pump, several meters deep and filled with turquoise-blue water, which you have to cross - or cool off in again. Then it's back to Čezsoća on asphalt and gravel and a short uphill back to Bovec.
