Hike along the Bevk Trail

Soča Valley Hiking & Cycling Festival: trekking from Hudajužna to Zakojca, through nature and culture, exploring the places and works of Slovenian writer France Bevk.

The event takes place as part of the Bevk Days 2025, which annually commemorate the birth and death of France Bevk, one of our greatest literary figures. At the start, hikers are introduced to the Baška grapa valley through a short cultural program (with emphasis on Hudajužna – the chapel of St. Barbara and the information point). Along the route from Hudajužna to Zakojca, we read excerpts from Bevk’s works, selected by the hikers themselves. The hike and cultural event (at 11:30) at his birthplace in Zakojca, where hikers from both directions meet, is a unique opportunity to connect various institutions and providers working in the field of cultural and literary tourism.
