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.

You can also travel by train. You travel from a place in the Netherlands by night train to Ljubljana. You can rent a car there.
By car
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. You will drive to the campsite in just over 13 hours. The best thing is if you can carpool. This way you can share the costs for the car
