🌉 Napoleon Bridge (Napoleonov most) The stone arch bridge spans the narrow gorge of the Soča on the outskirts of Kobarid and is one of the town's landmarks. The first stone arch was built in 1750; the bridge got its name because Napoleon's troops crossed it in 1797 on their way to Austria. At the beginning of World War I, in 1915, it was blown up by the retreating Austro-Hungarian army and rebuilt by the Italians. Today it is part of the Kobariška zgodovinska pot and marks the transition from the town to the hiking and kayaking world of the upper Soča. 📸 Best view from the bridge itself down into the gorge – the water glows particularly intensely here 🏊 Below the bridge there are popular swimming spots; entry via the path on the east bank 🛶 Entry point for kayak and rafting tours – correspondingly busy on warm days 🅿️ Small parking lot directly at the bridge, access via the road towards Drežnica 🥾 From here it is only a few minutes to the center of Kobarid

Splendid stretch of countryside between Tarcento and the outskirts of Udine, (almost) always along small streams and (almost) always in the shade, a salvation on these very hot days of summer 2026.
