Breginjski kot is a valley of the Nadiža River between Staro selo and Breginj at the westernmost edge of Slovenia.

Breginjski kot is an integral part of the cultural area of Beneška (Venetian) Slovenia. The most important legacy of the region is its ethnological monuments, particularly the remnants of a remarkable heritage in environmental design and architecture, which was, to a large degree, unfortunately destroyed by an earthquake in 1976. Part of this heritage, representing an exceptional symbiosis of human and nature, is preserved in Breginj’s local museum. Popular destinations with visitors are Napoleon Bridge across the Nadiža River and the “black” (open fire) kitchen in Robidišče, which is considered the westernmost Slovenian settlement.

The indisputable jewel of the area is the Nadiža River, which is pleasantly warm in summer and which, according to the opinion of numerous visitors, also possesses healing properties.

Bicycling at one’s leisure or on an all-day tour is the most recommended way to explore the sights of Breginjski kot.

The disappearance of border procedures with Italy will open new opportunities for excursions in the neighbouring and appealing Beneška Slovenia.
