I have already written about Bovec in one of my previous articles and I will certainly write about this pearl of Slovenia in one of the upcoming ones. In this article, we will set out to get to know the differences of Bovec, which you can do throughout the weekend, from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. Of course, you can customize the trips and choose only the ones that are right for you. However, all excursions are also suitable for children and four-legged friends (only the ascent to Svinjak is a bit more demanding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will tackle the sights of Bovec at one of the hottest locations in Bovec at the moment. Virje Waterfall is a real beauty, from there we will walk to the beautiful karst spring of the Gjun stream, see the accumulation lake behind the power plant, go to one of the most visited valleys in this part of Slovenia, where we will walk through \u0160unik’s water grove, and climb towards the spring of Lepenjica. As mentioned, we will jump on Svinjak, see the most magnificent waterfall in Slovenia, and get to know a paradise for all glamping fans. Given that I also like to eat well, I will tell you where it will be great and where you will be served in a relaxed atmosphere for reasonable prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are looking for even more ideas for trips in Bovec and its surroundings, I suggest you take a look at the blog entitled Where in Bovec<\/a>, Log pod Mangartom<\/a>, Sights of Trenta<\/a>, Where in Kobarid<\/a> and Tolmin sights<\/a>. You can also read about how to get to the Krn Lakes<\/a>. In all these articles you have enough suggestions for a few holidays along the So\u010da river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before we go to the sights of Bovec, I would also like to mention that I am enthusiastic about Bovec because there are practically no mosquitoes there. These little nuisances love me very much and in recent years there are really a lot of them\u2026 But not in Bovec! ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We all probably know that Bovec is a real paradise on earth, if you don’t know that yet, or you don’t agree with me, then you certainly haven’t seen Virje waterfall yet. The waterfall is not something special, there are many more magnificent and watery waterfalls in the So\u010da river basin, but few of the waterfalls around, which are not few, can be compared to the Virje waterfall in the scenery that surrounds it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Virje
    Virje waterfall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Virje waterfall is about 20 meters high and falls into the depths in several strands. If there is a lot of water, it flows through the shelf in a fairly wide curtain, but when there is less water, or. when a lot of water is diverted to the turbines of the hydroelectric power plant and there is little left in the bed of the Glijun stream, the waterfall falls over the shelf in several separate jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Below the waterfall are two pools separated by rocks, which are quite large, and their depth is realy nice. The Glijun spring originates a few 100 meters higher in a beautiful karst spring (more about it in the subtitle below), and its water hinterland is the Kanin Mountains and endless abysses, where smaller streams merge into larger watercourses and flow over Bovec. Given that the abysses in the heart of Kanin have a constant temperature of around 1 \u00b0 C, you can imagine that the water is not very warm either. The water temperature in the pools under the waterfall does not exceed 6 \u00b0 C even on the warmest days of the year and is practically the same, both in summer and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2020, a sign was erected at the Virje waterfall prohibiting swimming in pools, but the pools under the waterfall, despite the cold water and the board, are still a very popular spot for cooling off and testing your courage. My guide in Bovec, who is a local, also says that he doesn’t pay attention to the board, because he has been soaking in the pool all his life all year round and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To the starting point for the Gjuna spring and the Virje waterfall, drive past the center of Bovec past Kaninska vas, to the village of Plu\u017ena, where the sign directs you to a narrow road that will take you up a rather steep ascent and then down to a well-maintained parking lot. A wide promenade leads to the waterfall, which in a few bends leads us to a kind of “amphitheater”, where there are a few benches and deck chairs for enjoying the view of this beautiful work of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n
