🌧️ Rain in the Soča Valley? Don't panic! Here are some ideas for where to hide and how to distract yourself even on rainy days 👇
1. Kluže Fortress (Museum + trench under the fortress)
Old fortress from the 15th century with a presentation of the defensive history and role in World War I; underground tunnel (400 m) with a guide ( Soca Valley , Info Slovenia ).
- family ticket €12
- schedule: check on the official website
- my opinion: very interesting – the fortress and I even more recommend visiting the trench under the fortress
- You can see our experience here
2. Planika Cheese Museum, Kobarid
- In the museum you can see an old cheese factory with a fire under the boiler and an archive cellar where old Tolmince cheeses mature. Also on display is a mountain hut with all the necessary equipment for processing milk into cheese, and an ethnological collection of old cheese-making tools.
- schedule and price list: check on the official website
- my opinion: interesting, I recommend it
3. Kobarid Military Museum (Kobarid Museum)
- History of the Isonzo Front, permanent and temporary exhibitions, library, documentaries.
- family ticket €20
- schedule: check on the official website
- my opinion: very interesting, more suitable for older children and adults
4. Raibl Lead-Zinc Mine (Miniera di Raibl)
- Tourist and educational tour of the mine and tunnels with a guide (suitable footwear and clothing are essential, it's cold in the tunnel!) and a tour of the museum and mining equipment.
- price: €15 adults
- Schedule: Jun–Sep every day, other months weekends/holidays by reservation, more information on the official website
- My opinion: Very interesting – for slightly older children
5. Ravni Laz Dairy
- A renovated dairy located just above Bovec. A small collection of items related to dairy farming in the Bovec area.
- Schedule: every Monday and Wednesday between 3 and 4 p.m., admission is free
- My opinion: I only recommend visiting if you have some time to spare, otherwise it's nothing special, a very small collection, the tour will take you 15 minutes.
6. Fisherman's House – Kal Kortinica
- A small and new museum about fishing on the Soča River, about the Soča River and the fish that live in it, interactive displays.
- price: €13 family ticket
- schedule: check on the official website
-
my opinion: the pond where the children fish is extremely interesting, I highly recommend a visit
And then:
Strgulc's house ,
Trenta House ,
Tolmin Museum and
Birthplace of Simon Gregorčič .
I don't have first-hand experience with the latter (we're going to Dom Trenta next time the weather is bad, it looks great), but these are recommendations from my followers.
