Thank you for helping us continue sharing Earth’s sacred places.


The Soča River is one of Europe’s most striking alpine rivers, flowing through the heart of western Slovenia and northeastern Italy.

It originates high in the Julian Alps, near the town of Trenta in Slovenia, where cold, crystal-clear water emerges from a karst spring beneath limestone cliffs. From there, the river travels approximately 138 kilometers (about 86 miles) before reaching the Adriatic Sea near Monfalcone in Italy. At its source, the water is intensely cold, typically around 5 – 8 °C (41 – 46 °F), shaped by alpine snowmelt and underground karst systems.

The upper stretches of the Soča are known for their mesmerizing color, often described as emerald, turquoise, or luminous blue-green. This distinctive hue comes from exceptionally pure water flowing over white limestone and dolomite rock, reflecting light in a way that gives the river its unmistakable glow.

As the river moves through the Alps, it winds through rock and varied surfaces, creating deep gorges, stunning pools, waterfalls, and tranquil scenes that invite quiet contemplation.

Not only the Soča Valley, but the entire surrounding alpine region is known for its beauty and healing atmosphere — pristine mountain air, luminous waters, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable experiences. It is, without question, one of my favorite places on Earth.
