The Solkan Bridge, Slovenia
The Solkan Bridge when opened on 19 July 1906 completed the railway line from Jesenice to Gorizia in what was then Austro Hungary - or more to the point it linked the capital Vienna with the fourth largest city and largest port in the Empire - Trieste. It was opened by the Austrian heir Franz Ferdinand who was the first passenger to travel across the Solkan Bridge.
This bridge was the largest stone bridge in the world when built (as you can see from the postcard) with an 85 metre arch. I believe that this is still the largest stone viaduct arch in the world.
It took around two years to complete. It was built by Brüder Redlich und Berger from Vienna.
In August 1916 Austrian engineers blew up the bridge, using 930 kg Ecrasite, as Italian forces advanced after the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. After the battle of Caporetto, Gorizia was recaptured by the Austrians who managed to make temporary repairs to the bridge so it once more could be used for railway traffic.
After WW1 the bridge found itself in Italy and a new bridge was completed in 1927 which became (I think) the largest such steel construction for a railway bridge in the world. This is the bridge we see today. Attacks were made on it on 10 August 1944 and 15 March 1945 but they failed to even damage it. After WW2 the borders moved once again and the bridge found itself in Yugoslavia and now it is in Slovenia.

Soča - Napoleonov most pri Kobaridu, 5. nov. 2012.
Po močnem nočnem deževju je Soča narasla do rekordnih pretokov in poplavila tudi pot na desnem bregu do avtokampa Lazar, kar se je nazadnje zgodilo avgusta 1987. Za mnoge je fascinanten pogled na korito podivjane reke iz Napoleonovem mostu pri Kobaridu enkratno doživetje.

Gli eventi legati al Fronte dell' Isonzo sono in parte descritti anche nel romanzo Addio alle armi di Ernest Hemingway, a quel tempo un corrispondente di guerra americano.

Exploring A Cave In Slovenia | Cédric Waldburger
The bachelor party trip to Slovenia was really exciting so far. In today's episode, we explored a cave which let me think about how relative time is since a human life is literally nothing compared to the age of these caves.

Jump from Napoleon Bridge (21 meters)
Jumping from napoleon bridge in kobarid slovenia
Napoleon’s bridge across the River Nadiža
Its uniqueness and technical accomplishment make it a precious architectural monument and a memorial to times past.
The stone bridge crossing the Nadiža gorge dates to around 1812 and stands mute testament to the routes crossing the area since at least the time of Ancient Rome.

Soča River Valley: Road Trip Vlog
Hey Guys, it's Anika! I'm taking you to follow a Soča River with us on our spontaneous road trip :)
It's my first time in Soča Valley so I didn't have any special spots that I would like to see. We just drove along the Soča River and stopped to explore some places, like Most na Soči, Tolmin and Kobarid. We saw Napoleon Bridge and St. Anton Church above Kobarid. It was lovely and relaxing.
Next time we will take tracking shoes and go deeper into the Valley! It's also a good idea to take swimming suits to try this incredibly COLD but clean water.
If you Guys have any favourite spots there, please let us know in the comments below! We would love to collect your suggestions and visit this place once again to make a proper guide to Soča Valley!
Stay tuned!
