Before the hike, we will provide you with some useful information to make your experience complete. Follow them and you will enjoy every kilometer you walk through unspoiled nature.
Participation in the hike is at your own risk. The hike is guided, not a competition. At the start, you will be divided into groups. At 8:00, hikers on the longer trail "In the footsteps of the Soča Front" will start. You will be divided into four groups of 40 hikers. In the same way, hikers on the shorter "Emerald Path" will be divided into two groups, starting at 8:10.
Both routes run along well-maintained paths and field paths, with only short sections on asphalt. The trail is easy, without dangerous sections, extreme climbs and descents.
For a comfortable and safe hike, we recommend quality trekking shoes or light hiking boots and hiking poles. Wear clothing appropriate to the weather forecast. We recommend a liter of your own drink per hiker, no more is needed, you get one bottle in the starting package, and there are also several springs of first-class water along the way.
Two tastings await you on the hike (Čezsoča - Kilc), and before the finish line there is the Cuder Cheese dairy. On the shorter hike you have two refreshment stations (Čezsoča, Jablanca), and a hot meal at the Bovec Elementary School. On the longer hike, in addition to the aforementioned, there is a refreshment station in Kal Koritnica and a hot meal in Trnjava Kluže. Only hikers who present a coupon are entitled to a hot meal.
Before the start of the hike, participants collect a starting package at the Bovec Elementary School (Craft gloves, a voucher for a hot meal, a Kilc and Cuder cheese dairy tasting, 1 bottle of Active O2 water and a 2025 brochure). After successfully completing the trail, you will receive a well-deserved medal.
Let's protect nature for our descendants. We should dispose of waste in containers along the route – separately, or in containers at the finish refreshment point.
The hike is possible in all weathers.
We wish you lots of enjoyment with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, the Emerald Beauty, which will accompany you for a good part of the route, and a historical touch at every step.
