At Prijon Sport Center, we bring together kayakers, adventurers, and nature enthusiasts to explore the stunning Soča Valley, home to the emerald Soča River.
At Prijon Sport Center, you can learn new skills in our kayak School, rent a kayak or bike, buy kayaking equipment, stay in our rooms or campsite, and unwind in our garden bar, where we host various events and gatherings.
If ‘Prijon’ in our name associated you to kayak manufacturer Prijon – you were right to do so. Our sport center has a rich history and is located at a place where the famed founder of Prijon Kayaks – Anton Prijon – spent his childhood and made his first kayak. When you come and stay with us or take part in our activities, you are witnessing directly history of kayaking in action.
After he became World Champion in kayaking using his own kayaks in 1959, he started a family with his wife Lotte in Germany, where in 1962 he founded his namesake company – Prijon. His lifelong passion for kayaks and whitewater ran throughout his life and he remained closely connected with his home country Slovenia. He kept returning to Čezsoča ever year, where he founded Prijon Sport Center – primarily kayaking center with a dedicated store. He was a fervent supporter of youth and youthful initiatives, which helped spur the whole sport and tourist industry in Soča Valley.
In 2011, Anton Prijon selected Igor Mlekuž, a young kayaker to continue his mission at Prijon Sport Center, while his company Prijon is helmed by his eldest son Toni, whose family continues to keep strong links with Soča Valley by annually vacationing on Soča River.
Soča River is undoubtedly one of the river pearls of Europe. With its emerald color, fast rapids and treacherous currents it has drawn attention of ever larger number of eager kayakers and tourists. Those of us who live with it day in and day out have seen it slowly bend below the burden of mass tourism.
