    Allround Tour around Bovec

    August 21, 2017 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    We had spent the whole last day down because of food poisoning, so for today we wanted to start slowly with our outdoor ambitions. It came very conveniently that Alan, a Slovenian guy from our dorm, was going to drive to different spots with a friend and offered to take us. At all of them there was a little hike, but not too much for our still a little week stomachs.
    We first drove to a starting point for the waterfall Kozijak, intending in jumping in and swimming a bit. But when we arrived there, saw that the waterfall was in a cave and realized how cold the water was, Alan was the only one crazy enough to go in for a moment.
    We went on to the river Nadiža, which was probably even colder, but after we saw children playing in there, Julia and I decided that we had no excuses anymore and went for a swim. The water was icy ⛄
    After a stop at the Museum Kobarid, that depicts the history of the war against Austro-Hungary in this area, we made a picnic at the Soča river before continuing to a barrier lake. There, we hiked up to a cave the military used to hide in during the war.
    In the evening we even went to a festival back in Bovec, with amazing dancers from Russia, Mexico and Indonesia!
