Batognica is a 2164 meter high mountain above the Soča River near Krn. The summit itself was the scene of constant clashes between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies during the Isonzo Front.

The worst fighting on Batognica took place on July 21, 1915, when the Italians pushed the Austrians to the eastern third of the plateau. The Italians thus occupied the western and central part of the Batognica plateau, while the Austrians occupied the eastern part. The armies were only 85 meters apart. Both armies were heavily fortified, working extensive systems of caverns and other tunnels in which the soldiers then spent two years. The line did not move anywhere during this time, so the Italians dug a tunnel under the Austrian positions, in which they installed explosives. The Austrians, who wanted to surprise the Italians with the same intention, accidentally discovered an Italian tunnel, carefully picked up all the explosives and later blew up Italian positions with it.

The crater of the explosion, in which 4,100 kg of nitroglycerin explosive gelatin echoed, is still beautifully visible from the surrounding peaks. Otherwise, from Batognica there is a beautiful view of Krn, Kanin, Vrh nad peski and a large part of the highest peaks of the Julian and Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
