History

The Tolmin region has the historical reputation of being a rebellious land. Medieval documents testify to a long series of uprisings, culminating in the Tolmin peasant revolt of 1713. That particular insurgence spread from the Tolmin region to the Gorizia region, Brda and further on to northern Istria. The uprising was mercilessly crushed by the imperial army and its eleven leaders were beheaded. During the World War I, Tolmin served as a base for the victorious breach of the Soča Front. The history of the town and its wider area is picturesquely presented in the Tolmin museum. The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times. ...

The most beautiful monument from that time is undoubtedly the church of the Holy Spirit at Javorca , which was built on a superb location above the Polog shepherds outpost in the Tolminka valley by Austro-Hungarian soldiers to commemorate their deceased comrades. The museum, library, schools and the town’s open spaces provide venues for a variety of events, exhibitions and presentations all year round.

Waterfalls: The region boasts several record-holders (Brinta Waterfall 104 m, Gregorčič Waterfall 88 m) and several smaller but no less ravishing jewels hidden in the ravines of the Mrzli Potok, Godiča, Pščak and Sopotnica. Since the access to majority of waterfalls is fairly difficult, you are strongly recommended to hire a guide.
