In the valley of the Soča, a fight broke out between excited tourists waiting

The article reports on a heated conflict between tourists and locals in the Soča Valley during the summer season, exacerbated by high temperatures and overcrowding. Tourists, both domestic and international, have flooded the area around Lepena, leading to congestion on local roads and disputes over parking. Social media users have expressed frustration over daily commutes being disrupted. A physical altercation at a gas station escalated into a scuffle, though no serious injuries were reported. Local residents are calling for measures such as limiting vehicle numbers, implementing stricter parking regulations, and introducing entrance fees to certain parts of the Triglav National Park.

This year, the number of tourists in Posočje is noticeably higher, especially in July.

The article reports on a significant increase in tourist visits to the Soča Valley this year, particularly during July. The number of tourists and overnight stays has risen compared to last year, with July recording nearly 120,000 visitors and over 326,000 overnight stays. Popular attractions like the Church of Saint John the Baptist at Javorca and the Kluže Fortress saw fluctuations, while the Tolminka River remained a top attraction with a 18% increase in visitors in July. Changes in tourist behavior were noted, including more online ticket purchases and extended visit durations, attributed partly to new facilities such as improved sanitation and a local products shop.
