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.

Napoleon Bridge over the Soča Gorge

Highlight • Bridge

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.

The bridge has a long history and is known as the Napoleon Bridge:

"In 1616 the Venetians tore down the old wooden bridge. In 1750 the old stone Napoleon Bridge was built with just one arch. Napoleon's troops marched on the bridge towards Predel, hence the name.

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

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.

July 7, 2022,Slowenien Triglav Runde 2

Weather forecast: all day rain with thunderstorms. Luckily it was dry in the morning, so I packed up the wet tent and rode it until it was closed. Arrived at the campsite just in time and set up the tent, then we started with the shower.
The campsite is great, is right on the Soca, which is now also suitable …

September 5, 2021,Alpen 2021 - Soca Dance

After the start, it went straight up the highest pass in Slovenia, Vrsic, to a good 1600. Great landscape and beautiful mostly shady route. Pro tip: Don't necessarily drive on a beautiful Sunday, today there were really hordes of cars and motorcycles on the road. Then we drove the rest of the day along the Soca (or the Soca), a …

June 29, 2024,Le Grande Tour 2024 #8 Bovec - Tolmin

For today I ignored the Komoot suggestions. Instead I created a road bike route from Bovec to Tolmin myself. There aren't many alternatives with asphalt. The busy road 203 serves as a continuous local connection.

On the way back from the Napoleon Bridge near Kobarid to Trnovo ob Soči, it is advisable to cycle directly along the Soča on the …
