Boka Waterfall
The most popular do-it-yourself walk in the area is to Boka Waterfall, 5.5km to the southwest of Bovec. The waterfall drops 106m from the Kanin Mountains into the valley and is almost 30m wide - it's an impressive sight, especially in late spring when the snow melts. To get there on foot, follow marked walkways B2 and S1 on the Bovec z Okolico (Bovec and Surroundings) map; mountain-bike track No 1 on the map will also take you there.
The trip up to the falls (850m) and back takes about 1½ hours, but the path is steep in places and can be very slippery.

Kluže Fortress
The Kluže Fortress, built by the Austrians in 1882 on the site of a 17th-century fortress above a deep ravine on the Koritnica River, is 4km northeast of Bovec and worth the trip just to see its awesome location. There's a small exhibition devoted to the Soča Front and other local WWI battles. There's also a bar with hot and cold drinks. You can reach the fortress on the main road from Bovec towards Log pod Mangartom and the Predel Pass into Italy.
