Kobarid is small western Slovenian town in the Julian Alps in the Upper Soca Valley. Kobarid is best known as the site of the 1917 Battle of Caporetto, which was immortalized by Ernest Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms. Inhabited since prehistoric times and on the important crossroad through Europe, Kobarid has rich past and many monuments that attest to it.

The 5 kilometer long self-guided Kobarid Historic Trail will take you through some of the most important spots such as the Napoleon Bridge, the Tonovcov Grad settlement and the very informative Kobarid Museum. Its proximity to the Soca River makes Kobarid a popular starting point for tourists looking for adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities such as rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, hydrospeeding, paragliding and much more.
