From the waterfall, where we parked the van, we will start a hike towards the canyon, where the tour River begins. An easily accessible hiking trail takes about 45 minutes. On the pathway, we will cross wooden hanging bridges, linking forest paths above emerald queen of Slovenian waters, the Soča River.

The canyoning Bovec tour ends in the last pool, which is filled with water, pouring down from the Kozjak waterfall. The waterfall offers the highest jump, that is about 18 meters high. If you decide to jump, you will rappel down the narrow shelf to reach the spot from where you will jump into the pool with a famous waterfall that thousands of people visit each year.

Why is canyoning Kozjak so special?
The wild alpine brook has its source in the foothills of the Julian Alps, over 2000 meters above the sea level. In its short but steep flow to the Soča River Valley, the stream is overflowing and booming in a spectacular and mysterious canyon. Here, the stream has created narrow gorges and deep caverns.
The picturesque walls, river beds, waterfalls, and crystal-clear green water pools represent the main feature of the canyoning Bovec tour. Wild and unspoiled nature formations will lead you through four waterfalls in the upper part of the canyon. In the end, you can expect a 20-meter high waterfall that drops into a deep pool. Canyoning Bovec tour in the Kozjak canyon, bordering on the Triglav National Park, offers thrilling jumps into the pools. This canyon differs from the other gorges and canyons by offering the highest and most spectacular jumps.
Canyoning Kozjak tour offers three main activities, including jumping into the water pools, rappelling down narrow walls and sliding on natural water tunnels. Waterfalls will accompany your jumps, as you will jump through them into crystal clear and deep-water pools. The Soča river is a very clean river and one of the cleanest in Europe, it is not without reason marketed as The Emerald Beauty. It was called like that because of the really clear green water and white stones in it, which look like pearls through the waves when the sun shines on them. It is truly a great and unforgettable view. You will never forget that beauty and for sure you will love to come back several times.
