Red Original's Best Gifts For Open Water Swimmers 2024
Struggling to pick out a gift for an outdoor swimming fan? You’re in luck! Here are some of the best gifts for open water swimmers this year.
Paddleboarding in Soca Valley, Most na Soci
Written by Michelle Meredith /
The beautiful Soča river, which flows at the foot of the Julian Alps, by the Italian border has carved an exhilarating valley and has some of the most gorgeous waters in Europe.
The region covers 942 km2 and is divided into three municipalities: Bovec, Kobarid and Tolmin. Part of the area is inside the Triglav National Park. It has also seen much history, most famously the WWI Soča Front, which is presented with rare tact in the Kobarid Museum. The memory of the battles also lives on in the outdoor museums – six are dotted along the 100 km long Walk of Peace.

Highlights
The Soča River is the most stunning sup location in Slovenia!
You will glide under the famous bridge and experience a true paddle-boarding paradise! Bridges, canyon, cliffs and rocks are creating a very interesting playground and the best sup location in Slovenia.
It's not only about paddling. Crystal clean Soča and Idrijca river will make you wanna jump in and refresh yourself and even try some ballance challenges and yoga poses on the board!
After the tour you can drive through the valley, take a short hike to the gorgeous Kozjek waterfall, make quick stop at the Korita Gorge and marvell at the rock formation “Ajdovska deklica” or the Heathen Maiden before on top of VršičMountain Pass.
