Our last day in Slovenia saw us heading through the Soca (So-cha) River Valley and over Vrsic (Vur-sheech) Pass. We got out of Bohinj via a car train which was really cool though a little freaky! You basically just drive your car onto the train open-air platform and sit in it while you are hurtled through the mountains in a tunnel, then down the valley. Quite a novel experience for sure!
Waiting for the train to leave the platform - not a big barrier between you and off the train!
Heading north through the Soca Valley we first stopped at the little town of Kobarid - front line during World War I - and visited Slap (waterfall) Kozjak, a neat waterfall amongst highly bedded limestone. The Soca Valley overall was a really lovely drive, with great views over the Vrsic Pass looking back into Triglav National Park and Triglav itself.

The end of the day saw us arrive in Lienz, Austria, capitol of the East Tirol Region, where we found a beautiful campground by a lake nestled at the foot of the Lienz Dolomites.
