Arriving in Bovec

We recommend arranging transfers through your accommodation host or renting a car from the airport.
From Brnik, if you're by car take the A2 motorway north towards Jesenice, exit there for the main road to Kranjska Gora. Turn left through the centre then keep going out of the town and over the mountains. After about 30km you will see signs for Trenta, then for Bovec, just keep going along main road 206. From Trieste take the A4 north towards Udine, keep following Udine on the A23 north, then exit at Udine. Take the main road west from Udine toward Cividale Del Friuli, stay on this road all the way to Kobarid (Slovenia). Then turn left for Bovec at the far end of the town. If you don't have your transport, take a bus first to Ljubljana. From Trieste airport it's difficult to get to Bovec by public transport, so it's best to first take a bus to Ljubljana.
By trainTrains are quite tricky. The closest they get to Bovec is Most na Soči, approximately 40km to the south. From there you could take a taxi, but bear in mind the distance. Alternatively you could rent a bike from Tolmin (6km from Most na Soči) and cycle the rest of the way, if you’re feeling a little adventurous.
By bus
There's a direct bus from Ljubljana every day (11:15 and 17:50 weekdays, 06:30 and 17:50 at weekends), and there are lots of international links to and from Ljubljana.
By bike
You could even rent a bike in Ljubljana (or use your own) and cycle the whole way (about 120km), if you’re a very keen adventurer or crazy, or both!
