Solkan Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
Completed in the early 1900s, it was part of a series of bridges (worth visiting) and tunnels on the railway line that connected Vienna to the southern provinces of the empire.
Legend has it that, when the wooden scaffolding that allowed its construction was being removed, the dutiful Austrian engineer in charge of the construction site was observing the scene from a nearby cliff with a gun in his hand, ready to put an end to his life if the total lowering of the bridge arch had been greater than that foreseen by his calculations.
The engineer survived, not like the bridge blown up by the A-U themselves during the First World War...

Highlight • Settlement
Due to the Doblar hydroelectric power plant reservoir, the gorges are now flooded; below the settlement, they flow into a lake, attracting both anglers and visitors who can enjoy the beautifully landscaped, panoramic, and easily accessible hiking trails.

But it was still 1000m of altitude and we cycled mostly in the dry.
The highlight was clearly the Sabotin.
Here there were breathtaking …
