Three-day programme for active visitors

There are but a few locations in the world where you can slide down the rapids of one of the most beautiful European rivers, where you can climb up a tree in the adventure park by the Soča river and make a 300-metre descent on a wire rope, stretched across the Soča at the height of 40 m and providing you with a spectacular view of the Solkan bridge with the longest stone arch span in the world. It is a place where you can explore WWI trenches and caverns, visit the crypt of the last kings of France or take a ride on the biking trails. When you go out for dinner, you can treat yourself to wine tasting in a world-renowned wine region, and thus experience a day, weekend or holiday you will never forget.
