Socia River( Kobarid) vs Logar valley

Planning to do Socia river area and Logar valley after Lake Bohinj , but wondering which to spend the most time in.
Thinking about 3-4 nights in each place?
Thanks

It depends what you are interested in. Hiking? History of WW I? 4 nights - ie. three full days - in each location? We enjoyed northern Slovenia a lot but three or four days rather than two total would still have been fine. Unless we wanted to do some serious hiking, Great area. Have fun!

Thanks everyone, very helpful ideas.

Another question...We are renting a car in Ljubiana and will be driving to Lake Bohinj and I would like to avoid the long tunnel on the fast road! Is that possible?? I hate long tunnels
Thanks again

If you must avoid tunnels, you can use google map to find alternate ways, but the detour might be long. I don't remember any "long tunnels", there are some tunnels here and there, they are well maintained and brief.

I also do not recall any long tunnels. There is a forum member who promotes doing a scenic drive on two-lane highways that goes through Škofja Loka and on to Bled. He reports it is a beautiful drive. I don't know the tunnel status of that road. You may use the search bar to see if you can find what he has written about that drive.

I just drove between Ljubljana and Kranjska Gora. There are definitely no long tunnels on that route, which is a couple of exits longer than the Bled one (you pass thru Bled to get to Bohinj). On the other hand, I do recall a longish tunnel on the way to Logar valley. But it was very well maintained and well lit, so no cause for concern. The highways were a pleasure to drive on and well maintained.
