Balkan Route

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!Leer más
