Velika Korita Soče, Limestone canyon in Triglav National Park, Slovenia
Velika Korita Soče is a limestone canyon extending 750 meters through Triglav National Park with vertical walls dropping roughly 15 meters. The river below forms emerald-tinted pools across four distinct sections of rock formations.
The Soča River carved this formation over millions of years through persistent erosion of the limestone bedrock. The process created the multi-layered walls and deep pools that define the gorge today.
The canyon serves as a major waypoint on the Soča Trail, connecting hikers to multiple natural landmarks throughout the national park. Visitors come here to witness the river's power carved into limestone over countless generations.
Free parking near Soča 104a provides direct access to the canyon via marked forest trails leading to various viewpoints. The site is best explored in dry conditions when the paths are safest and most comfortable to navigate.
After rainfall, water streams cascade from the overhanging walls like curtains descending over the emerald river below. These temporary cascades illuminate the canyon's depths in a way visitors rarely witness elsewhere.
