    Mountain biking

    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.

    Hiking

    One of the most famous sights in Kobarid is the Napoleon Bridge, built in 1750 and located around 900 meters from the city center. The history of this historic stone bridge goes back a long time, and Napoleon's troops marched from here towards Predel. The bridge was destroyed during the First World War, but was later rebuilt. Today it is one of the main attractions and offers a spectacular view of one of the most beautiful rivers in the world, namely the beautiful emerald blue Soča.
