The Boka Waterfall (or Slap Boka in Slovenian), with its 139 metres, is the highest waterfall in Slovenia and is located upstream from the river So\u010da (also called Isonzo). The waterfall begins at a karst spring and has two levels: a first stage 106 metres high and 18 metres wide, as well as a second stage 33 metres high. During the driest periods, the water flow of the waterfall is about 2 m3 per second, but it can reach up to 100 m3 per second after heavy rains. At the foot of the waterfall, the stream called Boka flows through a steep valley with a stony bottom. The stream flows into the So\u010da river after less than one kilometre, making it one of the shortest streams in Slovenia.<\/p>\n
The itinerary I suggest here follows the upward path west of the Boka to reach successive points of view on the waterfall, the last point of view overlooking the waterfall. Very short, the course does not present any particular technical difficulties, but I have decided to include it in the “Intermediate” category because of some steep passages that can be very difficult in case of rain. In addition, a short passage very slightly exposed on a ledge can impress the most sensitive hikers.<\/p>\n
