View of Napoleon Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A classic historic bridge, very well preserved or renovated. Combined with the eroded gorge and the emerald-colored waters of the Soca, the bridge's value increases. All in all, it's a free tourist attraction.

August 30, 2023,Sisters in the Wild 🇸🇮 expedition - day 4
Today was a partial rest day with a shortish ride with a small amount of elevation.

Bovec is an amazing adventure town with so much to see and do. Take time to explore and enjoy the activities the town has to offer. We took the morning to go rafting on the world famous Soča river- 100% recommend!
Today was a special stage. We had to carry the bikes and luggage up several steps and part of the way was on a very busy road. So we are now very happy to have arrived in Tolmin.

At Kobarid we visited the Koziak waterfall. A beautiful 15m high waterfall in a rock hall.
Then we went along quiet back roads to Tolmin.
Just before Tolmin we deviated from our planned route to visit the Tolmin …

Today it was dry all day except for 10 minutes of drizzle.

So it would have been unloading, carrying and loading. On our side, the path became …

Day 4. A quiet stage compared to yesterday. The first few kilometers on the road due to construction work. From km 17 there is a beautiful coarse gravel route, sometimes steeply uphill. Coffee in Kobarid. Then continue on asphalt to the gorge to Tolmin. Very nice.... ✌️
