At the town square, the trail turns towards the top of the town, past the church, on the road leading to the Kanin ski-slope, and then left towards the village of Plužna with the accumulation lake and the Virje waterfall. In the village, the trail turns left and descends past the golf course to the main road which it follows to the junction towards to the village of Log Čezsoški where it crosses the river Soča with the most wonderful view of the Boka waterfall and turns back in the direction of the town of Bovec and continues towards the village of Čezsoča. The trail then goes through Čezsoča and continues towards the small village of Jablenca where it turns left towards the bridge over the river Soča which it crosses and turns left across the next bridge over the river Koritnica. This part of the trail is undoubtedly attractive, but also demands a certain degree of attention due to bridge crossings and other exposed sites. From the village of Vodenca you will cycle back towards Bovec along the paved road, but turn right on a cart track before reaching the town and soon after to the left, across the road towards Čezsoča, and then around the Bovec airport. From there, you will return to the centre of Bovec which you will leave through the part of the town called Mala vas and continue along the cart track in the direction of the village of Log pod Mangartom. By the Ravelnik Outdoor Museum, you will cross the main road and, under the rising ground with the same name, return back to Bovec. This last circle is also very appropriate for families.
