 What does Slovenia offer?\n\nFor the Slovenia leg of this trip we will be 
 heading to the beautiful Soča Valley! As kayakers the main attraction for
  many of use will be paddling the Soča river\; however the Soča Valley\,
  and Slovenia as a whole\, has much more to offer. There's no obligation t
 o paddle every day\, you are welcome to make your own plans to enjoy your 
 holiday. The Soča Valley has many outdoor activities to offer (more infor
 mation here) and some of Slovenia's top tourist destination are within dri
 vable distance\, alternatively you can just spend a day relaxing and takin
 g in the mountain scenery. Here are just some of the things our members ha
 ve enjoyed off the river in previous years:\n\n 	Hiking to the source of t
 he Soča river\n 	Visiting the incredible Postojna Cave and Predjama Castl
 e\n 	Visiting the picturesque Lake Bled\n\nPaddling the Soča river is an 
 incredible experience\; it weaves it's way through the Julian Alps providi
 ng breath-taking scenery on both sides\, while the water ranges from emera
 ld green to nearly crystal clear (there are parts where you can see every 
 pebble on the river bed\, a couple of metres below you). The different sec
 tions of the Soča provide the full range of whitewater from grade 1 to 5 
 (though we won't be going above grade 3)\, so the sections we paddle will 
 depend on the capability of those paddling each day. You should have some 
 moving water experience if you plan on paddling the Soča with us\, but th
 ere will be plenty of club moving water sessions between now and then to g
 et some practice in.\n\nDetails\n\nWe will be staying in the town of Bovec
  with an arrival date of Sunday 14th June and a departure date of Saturday
  20th June (6 nights). You are welcome to make your own arrangements eithe
 r side of these dates if you wish to explore more of the country.\n\nVideo
