Kobariški Stol Ridge Trail and Hlek Hut

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail along the ridge is completely mobile, but very original. The path was laid out as a military road in World War I. Later this overgrown and only served the farmers as access to their pastures. Up here you will surely meet more sheep, goats and donkeys than people.

The most spectacular of the way is the imposing view. On the south side is the picturesque valley of the Nadiža River. If the visibility is good, you can even see the Adriatic coast. As soon as you change the side of the ridge, you look into the Socatal and the rugged limestone cliffs of the Julian Alps in the background.

At the end of the trail, the official MTB route leads to the left. There you will drive / push downhill for about 20 minutes steeply over roots and a rich selection of possible drivable or non-drivable lines and finally meet a gravel path that leads back into the valley. Alternatively, you can use an old military path on the south side, which runs much less steeply into the valley. However, this one is only for adventurers. Some sections of the path are difficult to drive due to scree. In addition, it is mostly overgrown.

The straight path to Kobarid is not recommended for normal mountain bikers. This is very steep and so blocked that driving in these passages is reserved for trial professionals only.

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.
