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."

1750 was the old stone Napoleon bridge with only a bridge arch. On the bridge, Napoleon's troops marched towards Predel, hence the name.

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.

September 4, 2022,Kobarid -> Log Pod Mangartom

Easy short trip from Kobarid to Log Pod Mangartom. In Kobarid it is recommended to visit the military museum. Here you get many impressions of the atrocities of the battles along the Soca Valley (Isonzo Battle) in the First World War. The memorial to the first use of poison gas shortly before Bovec and a visit to the Kluze Fortress …

The recommendation to take a dirt road from Trnovo and cycle along the Soča was completely wrong. The route led to the Juliana Trail, which is not suitable for bicycles. It cost us several hours, nerves and energy
