View of Kobarid and the Italian Ossuary

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kobarid area was the scene of several battles during the First World War as part of the Isonzo Front between Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy, which fought on the side of the Entente. After a long, costly trench warfare, the Central Powers achieved a breakthrough in the Battle of Karfreit in October 1917, although this was not, of course, decisive for the war.

The bridge has a long history and is known as the Napoleon Bridge:

"In 1616 the Venetians tore down the old wooden bridge. In 1750 the old stone Napoleon Bridge was built with just one arch. Napoleon's troops marched on the bridge towards Predel, hence the name.

During the First World War, this bridge was blown up by the Austrian army, later the Italians built a wooden bridge and then an iron bridge followed. During the Second World War, the partisans defended the Republic of Kobarid here. Two commemorative plaques are erected on the bridge to commemorate these events."

Napoleon Bridge over the Soča Gorge

Highlight • Bridge

This extremely photogenic bridge crosses the Soča near Kobarid over a narrow rocky channel. The transition at this point has always been important. Only a few places along the raging river offered the opportunity to build a bridge.

In 1758/1759 the old wooden structure was replaced by a stone arch bridge. At that time there were Napoleonic troops in the region, which is how the building got its famous name.

However, none of the French were involved in the construction. The bridge was blown up during the Isonzo battles in World War I and was only rebuilt after the war.

August 24, 2025,Kamp Koren-Hängebrücke über die Soča – Kobarid

This circular tour is beautiful and easily doable even with small children. However, it is not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. For asthmatics, it is easily manageable with Nordic walking poles – just plan a little extra time. In Kobarid, you can refresh yourself at the healing spring or enjoy a delicious ice cream. And at Kamp Koren, a delicious …
