Bovec is a small town situated close to the Italian border within the Julian Alps on the edge of the Triglav National Park. Its location has seen Bovec become the unofficial home of extreme sports in Slovenia. From your base in Bovec you can traverse the rapids of the Soča River or race through the air on a mountain zip-line.  

While in the town you can enjoy a night life and variety of restaurants that punches well above its weight. 

Like the history of wider Slovenia, Bovec has seen many rulers come and go from as far back as the Roman Empire. However, the relatively recent history of WW 1 saw some of fiercest fighting in the region between Italian and Austrian forces. The hills and mountains that surround Bovec are filled with this history and a walk amongst them can form a moments break from the adrenaline sports.
