SOLKAN BRIDGE

Works of art to see

The viaduct with its railway track has an 85 m arch. Inaugurated in 1906, it was then the largest in Europe. The bridge over the Soča was built in 1985 and is used to drive to Goriška Brda. You will cross a little more than 1 km of Italian territory with a plunging view on Soča. It was mined by the Austrian army during the First World War. Heavily damaged after the attack on Kobarid in October 1917, it had to be repaired from 1918 onwards, partly by Italy. It is forbidden to stop on this bridge.
