Sandbank on the Soča River with a view of Svinjak

Highlight • Beach

Downstream from Bovec, the Soca Valley widens, allowing for relaxed paddling, hiking, etc., with plenty of time to admire the magnificent scenery.
The river is inviting for a swim, but be careful! As a true mountain river, it's freezing cold even in summer!

Gravel beach on the Soča River

Highlight • Beach

A great route on gravel, pebbles, and sand alongside the Soca River, with several opportunities to pause directly on the banks and enjoy a close encounter with the Soca.
IMPORTANT: The route has been completely "cyclist-friendly" in recent months; many very difficult sections have been completely improved, some even paved with concrete. Riding a mountain bike is easier than riding a regular bike. The route from Bovec to Magozd is a great cycling route alongside the Soca River.

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.

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.

If you don't like gravel, you don't even need to do this tour! It starts with deep gravel when you leave, which you have to dig through, then you have a long step passage down and up to the Most Lipuc suspension bridge (it rocks quite a bit when you walk over it), there was even gravel on road 203 …

With the sun breaking through, we started the "quiet" day today. First we visited a former position of the Austro-Hungarian army before heading out into nature. The landscape is simply beautiful, every crossing of the Soca is more beautiful than the previous one. At lunchtime we cycled into Kobarid. Here we visited the ossuary and church before lunch. It is …

My annual visit to my Empress in Triglav National Park. The Soča River showed off its very best again today in the somewhat wilder section of the upper Soča Valley. The plan was to ride to the foot of the Vršič Pass... but I changed that pretty quickly. It was soooo cold, but I wasn't ready for thermal underwear yet.

We actually just wanted to follow a fairly leisurely tour by Tommy. The same route there and back. But then Komoot completely changed the route halfway back and led us into the wildest terrain 😬😵‍💫. Difficulty level S - shoot me dead at the end...
