Municipality of Tolmin

The Municipality of Tolmin extends across 381.5 square kilometers of terrain at the meeting point of the Soča and Tolminka rivers in northwestern Slovenia.

The region experienced significant changes during World War I, serving as a base for military operations on the Soča Front until Italian troops occupied the area in 1918.

The town maintains strong musical traditions through annual events including Metaldays festival, Punk Rock Holiday, and Soča Reggae Riversplash, drawing international crowds each summer.

The municipal administration operates from the town center, managing 22 council members who oversee services for approximately 11,000 residents across multiple settlements.

The Javorca Church, constructed by Austro-Hungarian soldiers during World War I, stands as a memorial to fallen soldiers in the surrounding mountain landscape.
