Vršič Pass and the Soča River

The Vršič Pass is the only direct route through Triglav National Forest and consists of 52 switchbacks. It was freezing at the highest point, snow on the ground and everything. We took a short break and then jumped back in the car where we headed to a much warmer Bovec, home of the Soča River, one of the rare rivers that retains its stunning emerald color throughout their length. Most of the pictures of the river are right from our campsite. We were lucky enough to pitch our tents right on the banks. I have to say it was the coldest thing I've ever stepped into. We had bets one night on who could keep their feet in the longest. No one could go much longer than 15-20 seconds and we all agreed that around 10 it started to hurt.


The Boka Waterfall. There's a nice little hike up to the base of the falls which we didn't have time for....something for next time.
