Bouldering in Trnovo

Trnovo ob Soči, in western Slovenia, is the country’s premier bouldering destination, offering over 1,000 problems scattered along the scenic Soča River. The climbing is primarily on limestone, with two distinct textures: smooth, river-polished white limestone near the water and rougher, gray-white limestone in the forest. This variety provides an excellent mix of technical slabs, slopers, and powerful overhangs. The area is divided into eight sectors, with beachside zones ideal for beginners and forested sectors offering more advanced problems up to 8b. The bouldering scene here continues to grow, with new projects still being developed.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for climbing, offering ideal temperatures and dry conditions. In summer, shaded forest sectors provide respite from the heat, while winter climbers can enjoy sunny riverside problems. Trnovo ob Soči is also a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, with world-class kayaking, rafting, and sport climbing nearby. The local climbing community is active, and an annual bouldering festival in June brings climbers together to explore new lines. With its breathtaking surroundings and diverse climbing, Trnovo ob Soči is a must-visit for those looking to experience Slovenia’s best bouldering.
