Detailed program

In the morning we will gather in Solkan, in front of the Kayak Centre Solkan, where we will be welcomed by experienced and qualified adventure park instructors. While we will enjoy our morning coffee or juice and a croissant in the bar, the instructors will present us the program.

After the welcome we will board the raft and cross the emerald Soča river. On the right bank of the river we will enter the Soča Fun Park and under the auspices of instructors we will face a two-hour adventure among the treetops. Obstacles in the adventure park will be overcome at a height of 2 to 10 m above the ground. In the end, we will try the "descent of courage" – we will return to the left bank along a 40 m height and 300 m long zip-line. After the experience, we will have a lunch.

After lunch we will go for a walk through the more than 1000 years old settlement Solkan (first mentioned in 1001) and visit the War Museum - Isonzo Front 1915-1917. We will than continue towards Skalnica, also called Sveta Gora (Holy Mountain in Slovene). We will stop at Prevalo and take

a look at the two Solkan bridges over the emerald Soča river.

From this point, a nice view opens over the Goriška plane and the two towns along the border between and – and . We will continue our way on foot along ditches and trenches of the First World War towards the top of Skalnica. After first 60 meters of the path we will turn right into the first tunnel. The trail than goes up the slope and it tightens into a firing trench and approaches the Sveta Gora road, under which it winds onward to the penultimate sharp road bend (520 m). Before the 260 m long tunnel we will put on helmets and headlamps. After crawling a short distance, we will rise in the tunnel with the help of a metal cable and experience the adventures of soldiers who have fought in the war on these slopes. We will exit the trench on the north side of Sveta Gora, at an altitude of 545 m, where soldiers will already be preparing a hot tea with rum and a military snack for us. We will then pass by the former military buildings and climb up the eastern part of the Sveta Gora ridge. From that point, a 700 m long trail will lead us to a safe and peaceful embrace of the Sveta Gora Basilica.

With its altitude of 682 m, Skalnica or Sveta Gora offers majestic views of the Julian Alps, Trnovo wood, Karst and all the way to the sea, and on the West side of Goriška Brda, Friuli plain, Carnic Alps and the Dolomites.

In the afternoon, after the trip to Sveta Gora, we will return home.
