Real refreshment

During the summer months, the Nadiža River is the warmest alpine river in this western part of Slovenia. According to oral traditions, it water contains many healing properties. It is much warmer than the Soča itself.

The most beautiful portion of the Nadiža River for swimming is located 1 km from the Autocamp in Podbela, near the Napoleon Bridge. Otherwise, seek out your own secluded pool, which you can easily find if you bicycle along the river in search of that perfect spot.

Navigate to swimming locations:

On the Nadiža River: near the village of Robič (500 m from the village, towards Italy; parking available), near Napoleon's Bridge (approx. 1.5 km from the village of Podbela), in the village of Podbela, near the village of Kred (1 km west of the village) and at the iron bridge near the village of  Logje. 

On the Soča River: at the junction of the Soča and Tolminka (Tolmin), under the Volčanski Bridge - Volče, near the village of Čezsoča. 

Along the Nadiža River, there are special parking regulations. A daily pass for cars is €6. If you stay with us, you can purchase the pass at our Hotel reception and receive a 50% discount as our guest. On days when the weather is unfavourable for swimming, that fee for regulating and conserving the areas along the Nadiža River will not be charged.

Friendly tip: If you choose to swim near Napoleon's Bridge, park your car under the bridge in Podbela.
