From the Trenta visitor centre we go back to follow the Soča Trail down the valley. We cross over the main road and accompany the River Soča along its left bank. We hike through forests, across meadows and pasture land, and past a large rockslide. Two information boards provide visitors with information about rockslides and the local vegetation. The trail ascends steeply to a small waterfall, then descends again from here, and we come to a small gorge close to a farm with facilities for tourists. The trail leads us past another information board about the architectural heritage of Trenta, past the village of Soča and the Great Soča Gorge. From the suspension bridge we can enjoy an impressive view of the gorge, which is 750 metres long and 10 to 12 metres deep, but in some places only 2 metres wide. We continue to follow the gorge and come to the road towards the Lepena Valley, where the gorge ends. On a campsite we can see the spot where the Lepenca and Soča rivers converge. We cross the bridge over the river Lepenca and walk along the right bank. We cross the Soča again and our route now leads us between the road and the River Soča to another, larger bridge, which we cross, leading us on the left river bank one more time. Soon we reach the gorge at Kršovec.  After the gravel road on the left bank of the river we keep following the Soča Trail and cross a wooden bridge Brijeka, which is one of the most picturesque spots on our way. We continue toward the village Vodenca, where we can see the confluence of the rivers Soča and koritnica. This time we cross the Koritnica and pass several campsites. After a steep but short ascent we come to Bovec and we already see the Church of Devica Marija v Polju, which we pass on our way to the centre of the town.

Reach Trenta and Bovec over Vršič or Predel Pass, or from the south via Tolmin and Kobarid.
