Tolminka
It has carved its path toward the Soča through a narrow valley, at times forming a wild gorge, which is most beautiful in the area of the famous Tolmin Gorges. After passing through the gorges, the Tolminka descends into the Tolmin basin, where it calms and flows into the Soča below Bučenica.
Over its short length, the characteristics of the river’s flow also change: in its upper part, it is a typical alpine stream, while in the final section, it becomes calmer, although it still retains pre-Alpine features. The Tolminka has vast reserves of high-quality drinking water, but it is not used for water supply.
The Tolminka is a fishing river, except for the section of the famous natural Tolmin Gorges, which is closed to fishing.
The Tolminka is inhabited by all trout species and bullhead; in the section near Tolmin, there is also a large population of grayling, and occasionally some chub.
