Description
Boka is a karst spring, a waterfall and a torrent stream, which is the right tributary of the Soča River. For a waterfall of 15 to 20 m, we would say that it is quite solid and more than just worth mentioning. What would you say for a waterfall that is so wide and buzzing in more than a hundred-meter drop?
The Boka Waterfall, with the height of the upper level of 106 m and the width of 18 m, is undoubtedly the most magnificent waterfall in Slovenia. Adding another 38 m high lower section in which the "official part" of the waterfall falls, we get the highest waterfall in Slovenia with a total height of 144 m. In the driest periods there is still a flow of two cubic meters per second, while during abundant rains the flow can increase to a powerful hundred cubic meters per second.
Access
From Bovec, drive 3 km towards Žaga. At the bridge, there is a parking lot right across the stream of Boka. Across the road, you reach a macadam road, which after 100 m splits into a path through the stream (leading to the protected climbing path to the spring above the waterfall) and a path leading to the forest.
Follow the serpentine path along the edge of the hill towards the waterfall. The waterfall is visible throughout the ascent, with the perspective changing until you reach the arranged sightseeing point (approx. 10 minutes of ascent). After another half an hour of moderate walking upwards, a "frontal" view of the entire waterfall system is opened.
