Bovec
This little mountain village in northwestern Slovenia, Bovec sits on the Soča river at the base of a bowl of peaks including Rombon, Polovnik, and the Kanin massif. The Soča is known for white-water rafting and kayaking, and the village supports a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. Several scenic viewpoints open across the surrounding mountains, and UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
