Tolmin

Built around the confluence of the Soča and Tolminka rivers, Tolmin grew into the main town of Slovenia’s Upper Soča Valley. It lies in the Slovenian Littoral, where the Julian Alps meet a river corridor running south-west towards the Adriatic. Tolmin is closely associated with the Tolmin Gorges, cut by the Tolminka and Zadlaščica rivers; the ravine marks the lowest point of Triglav National Park. Local history also recalls the Tolmin peasant revolt of 1713, an uprising against Habsburg taxation and feudal obligations. Today, the centre serves the wider Soča Valley with shops, cafés and connections into the surrounding valleys.
