Portraits of mountains, waterfalls, happenings and people - offered in English and Slovene.
Meeting Mountains want to tell stories that doesn’t otherwise get told. We dare to turn the stones that have been untouched for a long time. Curious foreigners may get an insight into local customs, hidden gems and special characters of the Soča Valley.
The author of the blog is local journalist Katja Humar - born and raised in the valley. She is passionate about painting articles with her colourful words, expressions and images and we are very grateful to have her on board.

The buzzing sounds of Slovenia
The colours, the smell, the gentle warmth. It is peaceful and cosy on the flower meadows and for a second it seems like heaven. But if you listen very closely the lively bird song is joined by the buzzing rhythm of the insect world. Spring has arrived in Slovenia and Carniola bees are in full swing performing their bee dance.
What is Slovenian Food? Here are 4 Traditional Soča Valley Dishes
Home to magnificent peaks, deep canyons, waterfalls, and the outstanding Soča river, the valley is a real treat! If you love food and you are seeking an authentic experience, you are in the right place. From Trenta to Nova Gorica, the Soča Valley region hosts some of the best fine dining places in the country, but let’s start where it all began – in the mountains.
Kaj se kuha v Posočju?
V dolini, ki se razteza od Trente do Nove Gorice, se dobro je. Turistične kmetije, simpatični bistroji, kulinarični festivali in vrhunske restavracije, ponudba je pisana. A vrnimo se tja, kjer se je vse začelo - v gore.
Tolminska korita: k hudiču in nazaj
Tako je. Prispevek govori o Tolminskih koritih, najbolj znani tolminski turistični znamenitosti. To pa ne. Prispevek ni opis atrakcije, ne vodnik, niti ne vsebuje namigov za top pet fotografskih kotičkov. Je zgodba o zgodbah zgodb in tako nazaj. Stare ljudske legende, poimenovanja in pol zgodovinske zgodbe so skozi leta oblikovale kraj, poudarile številne obraze edinstvene narave in ji podarile glas. Dobrodošli v vzporednem svetu divjih bab, hudičev in pekla Danteja Alighierija.
Toni, Brazilec iz Bovca
Toni Demarco je posoški vodnik vodnih športov - Brazilec, ki je pred desetimi leti pristal na Soči in vse kaže, da bo tukaj tudi ostal. Je človek akcije. Če se kje dogaja športna dejavnost z vsaj kančkom adrenalina, Toni ne more biti prav daleč.
Boka, lepotica in zver
Zrcalce, zrcalce na steni povej, kateri najlepši slap v deželi je tej? Tudi če hočeš, ga ne moreš spregledati. Slap Boka, osupljiiv uvod v Bovško kotlino, viden že s ceste, ki povezuje Kobarid in Bovec. S svojim veličastnim pretokom, vdelanostjo v živo skalo in strateško lego še danes draži pustolovske duše in buri domišljijo. Zato ni čudno, da so se okoli Boke splezale, razpletle in zarezale različne zgodbe.
