Most na Soči
Most na Soči was named Sveta Lucija ob Soči until 1952. It is located on a rocky crest above the confluence of Soča and Idrijca rivers, near Tolmin. In the past these two riverbeds, deeply carved into the rocky slopes. Due to the nearby Doblar hydro plant, the basins of the river were entirely inundated and below the settlement a vast reservoir was formed, which now attracts both fishermen and visitors, who can stroll along some well-kept panoramic paths.
