The local experience
What to see in Bovec
Waterfall
Boka Waterfall
The waterfall that issues from a spring on the slope of the Kanin massif and drops more than 100 meters, about 18 meters wide, near the road between Bovec and Žaga. A viewpoint is a 15–20 minute walk away.
Fortress
Kluže Fortress
The Austro-Hungarian fortress of 1882 above the Koritnica gorge, 4 km from Bovec, with a museum about the region and the Isonzo front. Above it are the ruins of Forte Hermann.
Viewpoint
Mangart Road
The mountain road that climbs above 2,000 meters to the Mangart saddle, the highest in Slovenia, with tunnels and tight hairpin bends. From the top you can see the Julian Alps and, on the other side, the Fusine lakes in Italy.
