Bovec:
Bovec and its region have contributed the most to the fame of the Soea valley in the tourist market. Bovec has the largest accommodation capacities in the valley; hotels, lodgings, private rooms and camp sites; here you can also find the largest concentration of organizers of sporting programs, for which the valley is well known; above Bovec is the mountain Kanin - the only ski resort in Slovenia where maintained pistes reach above 2000 m. Bovec is an Alpine centre with a tradition stretching back to the times when Trenta poachers guided rich townsfolk on hiking tours through the nearby mountains.

The Bovec region is one vast natural monument. A significant part of the municipality lies inside Triglav National Park, with a modern, well-equipped and extremely useful information centre in the legendary Trenta valley. The source of the river SoËa, one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe, is in the Bovec region. Delightful little lakes lie in the mountains around Bovec, the home of the gold-horned ibex; at Kaninski Podi one can find potholes up to 1000 m deep, among the deepest in the world. The Boka waterfall, which is 106 metres high, is only one of a multitude hidden in the deep Alpine valleys.

There is a rich historical heritage to be discovered at every step; the peace and quiet of the little churches, the awe-inspiring fort of Kluže standing tall above the torrential Koritnica, and the remains of First World War positions which are an eternal reminder of that senseless slaughter. In the town itself one can admire the beauty and originality of the rural architecture - the typical houses of the region and their surroundings, sensitively merging with the landscape, and the old farms in the mountain valleys standing as a monument to endurance and perseverance and to the stamina of the local people.
