Napoleon Bridge over the Soča River near Kobarid

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The old Napoleon Bridge was built in 1750, gaining its name from when Napoleon's troops marched across it to get to Predel Pass. It was later destroyed in WWI by Austrian soldiers, rebuilt by the Italians in wooden and iron iterations before this stone bridge was erected.

Soča Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

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

In the First World War, this bridge was blown up by the Austrian army, later the Italians built a wooden bridge and then followed by an iron bridge. During the Second World War, the partisans defended the Republic of Kobarid here. In commemoration of these events, two commemorative plaques are erected on the bridge.

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.

Kobarid

Highlight • Settlement

Kobarid, or Caporetto in Italian, is a small lively town on the Soča River. The best known point is "Napoleon's bridge" where the Napoleonic troops marched and it is a truly spectacular place. Kobarid was one of the most important partisan recruitment centers for the fight against Italian fascism. The battles that occurred here in the First and Second World Wars are documented in the Kobarid museum.
