Located in Triglav National Park, this pretty little town is a Mecca for adrenalin-junkies, who flock here in the summer for white water rafting, kayaking and canyoning on the Soča River. In the winter, there is skiing at the nearby Kanin Ski Centre (tel: +386 59179301;http://kanin.si/en/).
The Soča Valley is also home to a thousand year old cheese making tradition; its alpine pastures and dairy farmers keep its heritage alive, offering tastings of the famous Bovec and Tolmic varieties and the Planika cheese making museum (tel: +386 5 3841 000; www.mlekarna-planika.si)
