“The sound of the nearby road doesn’t bother you; it’s drowned out by the murmur of the Soča, which about 700 m further on flows through the famous Great Gorge. Plenty of well-kept paths and footbridges for walks with a child.”

„Zvok z bližnje ceste nemoteč in preglašen žuborenjem reke Soče, ki se kakih 700m naprej pretaka skozi znana, velika korita. Polno urejenih poti in brvi za sprehode z otrokom.“
