Soca valley, Slovenia

The Soča Valley is located just next to the border with Italy and is known for its beautiful nature. The valley has a huge attraction for active travelers. The mountains are fantastic for hiking and the Soča river has a beautiful emerald green color. Centuries-old traditions, such as those of traditional cheese-making, are still kept alive in the alpine pastures. Between nature you will also find nice villages whose history goes back to prehistoric times. During the First World War, this area was the front line between the armies of Italy and Austria-Hungary. Remnants of the battle can still be found throughout the valley.
The experience of the beautiful nature of the Soča valley is central to everything; this place is not called Slovenia's outdoor sports paradise for nothing. Pippin Hikes places the attractive tipis and the pop-up kitchen where the most delicious meals come out in the middle of this beautiful area.

We meet at the campsite in Slovenia. We are located near the village of Tolmin where there is plenty to do. We start with a cup of coffee with something tasty and you can acclimatize and relax. After you have met the other participants and have furnished your tipi, a delicious lunch is ready. After lunch we put on our walking shoes for a short walk where we have beautiful views.

The easiest way is by car. You do need a vignette for Austria. A vignette is also needed in Slovenia, but this is for the motorways around Ljubljana and if you drive from Austria you will not be driving on the motorway and therefore you would not need it.
