Wow. First was the trip itself. Access is a single lane, mostly gravel road that winds it’s way up through the steep mountains to the church. Occasional spots exist where cars can carefully get by.... more

Although the way to Javorca was slightly scary because of the precipice, it was worth it. The church is very beautiful. Also the landscape.

Church Javorca is not just a church. It is a promoter of peace. The strongest antiwar monument after the 'war museum in Kobarid'. With hike to springs of Tolminka river for me a highlight of Soča Valley!

Its a nice place but i wonder if its worth the effort. Its a 20 minute drive from tolmin, with the roads being very narrow and winding. Followed by a steep walk uphill for about 1km. But the church is very pretty, with a very nice view.

This church is an impressive call for peace. Really worth visiting and to listen to the guide explaining the history of this church.

It was enlightening stop during the hike. The church is beautiful with a very inspiring story. The guardian/guide was very knowledgeable and interesting person to talk to. I strongly advise the visit!
