On the Battlefield of Caporetto - Exploring the Kolovrat I THE GREAT WAR Special
The Walk of Peace in the Soča Region Foundation
Follow Indy and his guide Leon up the heights of the Kolovrat Ridge and into the Italian frontline trenches and bunkers. From there we take a look down towards the Isonzo Valley and reconstruct the advance of the German and Austro-Hungarian forces during the Battle of Caporetto towards Tolmin and Kobarid. Walking through the narrow corridors, we try to understand the conditions in which the defenders lived and fought.

Relikte der Isonzo Front 1916---1918
An dieser Front sind angeblich mehr Soldaten Erfroren oder von Lawinen mitgerissen als Erschossen worden. Es ist unglaublich was Schutzsuchende Soldaten alles geleistet haben, was für Steinversetzungen dort stattgefunden haben. Wer die Wege in dem Ehemaligem Frontgebiet dort kennt weiß wovon ich spreche.
Soča Valley - Walk of Peace (GB-version) HD.mov
The Soča Valley was part of the Isonzo Front during the First World War. Lads and men of many nations fought, died and suffered along the Soča. Preserved from this era have been trenches, fortifications, caves, military cemeteries,...
Listen to the stories of World War I and you will hear the thunder of battle. Open your heart to peace. The green colourful Soča valley is rich with majestic waterfalls, fabulous river pools, mysterious springs, gorges, canyons, flora and fauna. All those things make the Upper Soča Region so special.
Do not be afraid to experience it all!
