Soca Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

This almost 50 kilometer long cycle path connects Gorizia, on the Italian-Slovenian border, to Kanal, in Slovenia, entering the Isonzo Valley. It is a cycle path in perfect condition, mostly separated from car traffic and with breathtaking views of the turquoise waters of the Isonzo river.

Kanal on the Soča

Highlight • Settlement

Isonzo Canal (Kanal ob Soči) is a picturesque medieval village that stands on the left bank of the Isonzo River (Soča). Don't miss the Gothic house, the Neptune fountain and Pečno Park, a few steps from the center. In the summer months it is possible to take a refreshing dip in the anise-coloured waters of the river.

Kanal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A place that has its own why. The Kanal bridge shows the houses, the river and the mountains from the parapet and integrates and blends well into the context.

View of the Solkan Railway Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Solkan Bridge (Slovene: Solkanski most, Italian: Ponte di Salcano) is a 219.7-meter (721 ft) arch bridge over the Soča River near Nova Gorica in western Slovenia (by railway terminology it is a viaduct). With an arch span of 85 meters (279 ft), it is the world's longest stone arch railroad bridge (and second-longest stone arch bridge, after Germany's Syratal Viaduct [de], a road bridge). It holds this record because later construction technology used reinforced concrete to build bridges. It was originally built in the time of the Secession, between 1900 and 1905, and officially opened in 1906. ( From Wikipedia )
