Napoleon Bridge - Kobarid, Slovenia - photos
Page no. 1, photos: 1-8, 22 photos in total. >>>
The Napoleon bridge is located near Kobarid, on the banks of the Soca (Isonzo) river. The bridge has existed since ancient times, and has undergone multiple demolitions and reconstructions.
It was initially under the administration of the Cedad monastery in the Middle Ages. In 1616, the Venetians destroyed the wooden bridge, and it was replaced with a stone bridge in 1750.
The bridge was named after Napoleon because the French army invaded the upper Soca valley in 1797. During World War I, the Austrian soldiers destroyed the bridge, but it was subsequently rebuilt by the Italians with wooden and iron structures.
The bridge holds historical significance, as it was a gathering point for partisans during World War II, who defended the Kobarid republic. Two monuments were placed near the bridge to commemorate these events.
The bridge offers a stunning view of the Soca river, its cliffs and precipices.

Hias Klettersteig - Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 132.65 km away
The Hias Klettersteig in the Silberkarklamm gorge is the first of the three via ferrata routes, and perhaps the easiest to complete. Two cable bridges and a few trickier sections make it interesting, but it is truly impressive due to the view of the narrow gorge.

The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better. :-)

Preacher's Rock Bodoc Mountains 947.74 km away
In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.
