Foreign naturalists are also of the unanimous opinion that the Soča is one of the five most beautiful Alpine rivers which have retained their picturesque originality.The beauty of the Soča is enhanced by its milky blue-green colour, very deep river troughs and valleys, waterfalls, boulders, river terraces and the breathtaking magnificence of the surrounding mountains. These clear waters are the natural habitat of the renowned Marble Trout (Salmo trutta marmoratus) and Soča grayling, and they are also rich on rainbow and brown trout.
The Soča rises in the high Julian Alps of northwestern Slovenia. Its waterfalls are limited to the source of the river and its early tributaries, - from the Boka Waterfall to the Gregorčič Falls as well as the falls on the Možnica stream.
This geologically recent glaciated alpine valley, together with its deep tributary valleys and gorges (Trenta, Mlinarica, Zadnjica, Vrstnik, Lepena, Koritnica, Možnica) has cut into the midst of the chains and ridges of the Julian Alps. The river and its valley are characterized by a diversity of species in a region where characteristic alpine and sub-Mediterranean influences blend.
The valley and the river bed of the Soča are fast becoming a big attraction for those wishing to engage in active forms of recreation, especially fishing, camping and various types of boating. The steep upper sections of this untamed alpine river attract fishermens from all over the world and fishing is also becoming increasingly popular. At Gorizia the Soča is joined by the Vipava river, and after passing briefly through Italian territory it flows into the Adriatic Sea.
