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 is very pretty, with a very nice view. DO NOT DRIVE TO THE CHRUCH!! Google will give directions but the way is barely more than a walking path. Go on foot, bike, or take the shuttle from the Tolmin bus station for 2 euro. Don't risk the drive! Otherwise, this is a beautiful place to visit and a rare nice story in a terrible war. Highly recommend if you are in the area. There are bunkers nearby that you can walk through as well. If you like hiking there are plenty of trails in the area and even a farm to stop at to buy cheese. 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! Sadly this was closed both times we tried to go. But looking through the windows was magical as was the setting. It is a terrifying drive I would not do it again -take the shuttle! And its a stiff incline 20 minute walk up. But with it…not the drive…I would never do that again. Very impressive place. Great view over the valley too. Even though you need some strong nerves to get there by car. Really pretty and an important part of history. Also lovely views of the mountains. Go by local bus from Tolmin, because the road is open only with permit, and it is also really narrow. Beware! Local dog is attacking other dogs! Our dog was attacked by some local dog while he was tied up by the fence on the entrance of the church. Luckily he didn't killed her but he removed over 3x3 cm of her scalp and left a small hole in her skull. So no joke. Other than that lovely and even better host! He told us a lot about the and its history and helped us a lot with first aid kit to patch our dog. Can't thank him enough! A that is both beautiful and deeply moving, built by soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a memorial to fallen comrades . Enquire at the local tourist office for access inside.
