Napoleon Bridge, Kobarid

Napoleonov most

A single-arch stone bridge spanning a narrow gorge of the Soča, with a deep green pool below where locals jump and swim in summer.

The bridge was originally built in the 18th century and is named after the Napoleonic troops who crossed it. It was destroyed in WWI and later rebuilt. The single arch spans the narrowest rocky gorge of the Soča, with emerald water beneath. It is a must-stop on the way to Kozjak Waterfall. In summer, people swim and sunbathe on the riverbanks, and there is a campsite nearby. It is about a 15-minute walk from the centre of Kobarid, and entry is free. The river is icy and has strong undercurrents, so take care if you go in the water.
