🌉 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

Very scenic place, cycling and walking through it is like entering the Middle Ages. The Ponte Diavolo and the "Caesar statue" are great photo motifs.

beautiful dirt section that runs along the course of the Judrio river. The road is always in excellent condition, the crossings on the bridges are paved. The Judrio, which runs under and alongside the road, seems docile but beware that on days of heavy rain it becomes fierce and dangerous like few others. Be aware that the road (as often in Slovenia) although unpaved is open to all motorized traffic.
