A good part of the stage – which runs from Log pod Mangartom to Bovec – is located within the only Slovenian national park, the Triglavski narodni park, and along its route allows you to enjoy wide and scenic mountain views as well as the beauty of its hydrological formations (rivers, streams, gorges, and small waterfalls) and the richness of its wildlife. Along the way, there is also the possibility to spot fortifications and trenches now part of open-air museums that invite personal reflection on a First World War distant but still vividly present with its traces on the territory.
Author’s recommendation
It is also interesting to visit the Kluže Fortress near Fort Hermann. The current appearance, dating back to 1882, was designed to oversee the Bovec area. Here, during the Isonzo front, rear units of the Austro-Hungarian army were stationed.
The Čelo Open-Air Museum is also worth a visit, with a magnificent view and visitable fortified Austro-Hungarian artillery positions.

Tips and suggestions
If you choose to visit the Čelo Open-Air Museum, you climb towards the summit of Mount Svinjak where, after half an hour, the museum is located, then, returning to Kal-Koritnica, continue towards Golobar. Instead of crossing the footbridge over the Soča (Isonzo) river, continue along the right bank to the bridge over the Koritnica at Vodenca and from there towards Bovec.
