Kobarid's Unmissable Highlights

Kobarid balances its somber military history with the natural beauty of the Soča Valley. The Kobariški Museum and the Italian Charnel House document the events of the WWI Isonzo Front, while the town's architectural heritage is represented by the 18th-century Napoleon Bridge and the Parish Church. Nature enthusiasts can reach the 15-meter Veliki Kozjak waterfall or ascend Krn, the highest peak in the Krn Mountains. For culinary exploration, Hiša Franko serves regional cuisine prepared by three-Michelin-starred chef Ana Roš.
