Out of season Uroš runs his construction company that has seen him bring to life a new Hostel, Soča Rocks, which he runs, as well as a new apartment in the center of Bovec. With his construction team Uroš has also built zip-lines in Chechnya and is looking to build a new line in Croatia.
He likes biking, skiing and when Soča shows the "right face", kayaking is the adrenalin adventure of choice in the valley he loves.
Finally, when he finds the time he takes a plane to a place far from Bovec. To relax and to think about the next project :) Uroš is one of our guides for Adrenaline River
If you cannot find your guide on the river, he is on the mountain, shredding a mountain track on his bike.
