What is a Nature Walk?
Guided nature walks are for people of all ages – from small children to seniors – and provide a new perspective to explore the beauty of Slovenian nature. While walking through the forest and along the river, your guide will teach you about the flora and fauna of the Soča Valley in an informal and fun way. Learn about bird songs, aquatic bugs, tree species and wildflowers. Binoculars, magnifying glasses and take-home resources are provided.
Awaken a child-like curiosity and wonder about the natural world, and make the most of your holiday in Slovenia by connecting with nature.

Testimonials
"a very unique experience. Carmen is knowledgeable and the pace and trail wasn't difficult for us."
Tim and Janice Hawthorn

" entertaining and educational for adults and kids. our 6 and 9 year olds loved it and the nature worksheets are great souvenirs"
Johannes, Sara, Karl and Paul
- Netherlands
Carmen managed to bring my three children (8, 5 and 3 years old) closer to nature, so that now they are happy when a bug flies to their hand and they watch it. In addition to a lot of knowledge about nature, Carmen showed us how to actually be present in a given moment and observe the beauty of nature.
