What to do

River, a waterfall, mountains and history

  • The Soča at the Napoleon Bridge

    Below the bridge the river has cut a narrow gorge. A path runs along the water towards the Kozjak waterfall and Kobarid.

  • Kozjak waterfall

    The waterfall drops into a rock chamber above the Soča. It is a short walk on a forest path from the car park.

  • Kobarid Museum

    A museum about the Soča (Isonzo) Front of the First World War, in the centre of Kobarid. A good choice for a rainy day.

  • Krn

    The mountain above Kobarid (2,244 m), with Lake Krn below the summit. Trails start in Drežnica and at Planina Kuhinja.

  • On the water

    Rafting, kayaking and canyoning are mostly run from Bovec and around Kobarid. Fishing on the Soča needs a permit.

  • Cycling and walks

    Roads and tracks along the valley are good for cycling, and from the village you can walk out on the nearby paths and farm tracks.
