Slovenia vacation. Triglav national park hiking and camping on the coast.

The Soca Valley is popular for people visiting and passing through Slovenia as it is part of the Alpe-Adria-Trail. It is definitely the Center of attractions in the Triglav national Park. We arrived in Trenta on our first night in The Valley, spent one night at a campsite, and spent the next day just strolling around the Soca Valley. We also went for a swim which is really cold but refreshing. Next morning, we got up early to make our way up to Triglav‘s top. During to bad weather conditions, we could not make it to the real top of the mountain but it was still a really amazing hike. We slept one night in a hut close to the top and made our way down again the next day, also hiking along the Soca for the rest of the day until we reached Bovec and visited the Boka waterfalls. From there we went down to the coast by car with two other backpackers we met in the hut up in the mountain.
 

This super cute small town on the coast of Slovenia (which is only about 50km Long, as Italy and Croatia are claiming the rest of it at the Mediterranean Sea) might be easily missed. But it’s definitely worth a visit. It has an Italian vibe, including nice coffee, Aperol, and pastries in affordable prices. The first night we spent at a wine yard further up the highlands, which offers parking lots for camper vans, and also we were allowed to camp in the garden with our tents, having an incredible view over the hills and the sea. The second night we just slept at the beach and started the next day with an early morning swim. Izola doesn‘t have a lot of tourist attractions to offer but is really nice for some relaxed days at the sea. I would also recommend going to Mesecev zaliv, also called Moonbay, a really pretty bay which you reach through a small path down the cliffs but the little hike is definitely worth it.
