Imagine…Dad perfecting his roll cast while fly fishing in the turquoise water or the Soča River with Rok Flyfishing, or learning how to roll a whitewater kayak with Kobarid Kayak School. Mom savoring a wine-tasting experience at Slo Wine downtown Kobarid or challenging herself with a guided ‘Learn to Trail Run’ lesson with Soča Valley Trail Run Tours. Meanwhile, teenagers can feel the rush of paragliding in a tandem flight over the valley with Ton of Fun Paragliding, or diving into the excitement of canyoning with X-Point or Soča Pulse. Positive Sport offers shuttle service and bike rentals, if you want to hit the trails. Even toddlers can enjoy gentle play in the warm, shallow waters of the Nadiža River at Kamp Nadiža or play in the white sand of the Soča at Kamp Koren.

Fun for All Ages

One of the best aspects of a nature walk is that it’s a family activity nearby. These walks are tailored to be enjoyable and educational for all age groups, making them an ideal addition to outdoor family vacations. They start from three different camps in the Soča Valley but can be arranged at custom locations, dates and times too.

Nature Walks are…

For Kids. Children are natural explorers, and a nature walk is a wonderful way to channel their curiosity. They can search for animal footprints, learn to identify different plants, and even flip over rocks in the river to discover fascinating macroinvertebrates. Rainy day activities for kids often feel limited, but a nature walk in light rain can be magical, with raindrops glistening on leaves and fresh scents filling the air, not to mention all the critters that come out in the rain.

For Parents. Parents can unwind and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the surroundings while learning about the valley's ecology. It’s an opportunity to bond with the family away from screens and daily distractions. Sustainable travel in Slovenia is about more than just the destination; it’s about meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact.

For Seniors. A guided nature walk is a fun activity for seniors, offering a gentle yet engaging way to explore the great outdoors. The pace is slow, as this is the best way to see all the details. And the terrain is not challenging. Guides ensure that everyone can keep up – there is always something to stop and look at!

For Teenagers. The guides have found that teenagers are often surprised by how much they enjoy these walks. Concepts they’ve learned in school come to life as they identify animal tracks, examine plant life, and engage in hands-on activities. Watch as their interest grows throughout the walk, as they connect textbook knowledge to the real (natural) world.

Rain or Shine. Always an Adventure.

One of the great things about a nature walk is that it’s a fantastic rainy day activity for kids and adults alike. While some activities might be postponed due to weather, nature walks often become even more enchanting with a bit of rain. The landscape takes on a fresh vibrancy, and there’s something magical about walking through a misty forest.
