Autumn. The Soča Valley dazzles in yellow, red, and gold shades. Mist covers the morning down by the Tolminka river. It's early, and everyone is asleep. Well, almost everyone. Ivan Mangani and Anja Bukudur are leaning over their field of gold - hand-picking tiny purple flowers. Flower after flower, thread by thread, they patiently created an inspiring story about Slovenia’s first saffron cultivation.

Jesen. Dolina Soče je prepleskana z rumenimi, rdečimi in zlatimi odtenki. Meglica zakriva jutro ob reki Tolminki. Zgodaj je, vsi še spijo. No, skoraj vsi. Ivan Mangani in Anja Bukudur se sklanjata nad svojim zlatim poljem in potrpežljivo nabirata drobne vijolične cvetove. Cvet za cvetom, nit za nitjo potrpežljivo ustvarjata navdihujočo zgodbo o prvem pravem slovenskem žafranu.

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.

Barva, vonj, nežna toplina. Na cvetočih travnikih je mirno in prijetno, za trenutek se zdi kot v nebesih. Živahni ptičji pesmi se pridruži brenčeči ritem sveta žuželk. Eksperimentalni jazz. V Slovenijo je prišla pomlad in kranjske čebele so v polnem razmahu.

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.

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.

Yes. This post is about Tolmin gorges, one of Tolmin’s main touristic attractions. No. It is not a tip, guide, or a top-five photo spot post. It is a story about the stories of the stories. Old folktales and semi-historical tales that shaped the place and emphasised the many characters of this unique nature. Welcome to the parallel worlds of wild women, devils, and Dante Alighieri’s version of hell.

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 Demarco is a Brazilian watersport guide who landed in the Soča Valley and stayed. If there is an adventure going on, he is never far.

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.

Any news from the woods? A story of how a partisan print house hidden deep in the Zadlaščica valley used to print illegal press during the WW2.

Je kaj novic iz gozda? Zgodba o mali partizanski tehniki, ki je globoko v soteski Zadlaščice, tiskala prepovedane besede.
