Follow this guide to his favourite restaurants and your taste buds as well as your heart will thank you.

There’s something primal about watching waterfalls, much like watching a fire rage or a puppy play. My instinct is attracted by the organic movement of water that our race for hundreds of thousands of years have been able to witness and take lesson from. It’s powerful, relentless and stoic but can be harnessed for our good. It’s symbolic. Photos by Johannes Bergfors

Sprinkled over the Julian Alps are bivouacs - shelters that protect mountaineers and curious visitors from the elements. Sometimes it’s literally just a few mattresses in a room, sometimes there’s a stove and sometimes there’s even food waiting for you.

In this blog post you can read a day-by-day report of what active, cultural, natural and culinary experiences we selected for a Dutch couple who asked us to plan their 11 day trip.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the mightiest of them all? If we are talking about the Soča Valley’s waterfall selection, Boka is the obvious answer. The waterfall is an impressive introduction to the Bovec valley, visible from the road connecting Kobarid to Bovec. Embedded into a rock wall, with its magnificent flow, and a vertical drop, the waterfall stimulates one’s imagination and hits the adventure nerve. No wonder there are so many stories built up around it.

Standing guard above Bovec is a picturesque green pyramid, a mountain called Svinjak. Its spiky form really ties the Bovec valley together and brings a wild edge to this tiny mountain town. The mountain offers numerous photo opportunities for tourists visiting Bovec.
