This section of the Walk of Peace, from Bovec to Kobarid, is certainly suitable for trekking enthusiasts. They, adventuring through the mountains and valleys, among gorges and ravines, will discover not only the natural beauty of the area but also these two towns, which have become internationally known for the events that happened there during the First World War. Kobarid, in particular, became symbolic of the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, when Austro-German forces broke through the front after years of trench warfare and pushed Italian troops back to the Piave River. Artefacts and the historical dynamics that took place here during the Great War are very well documented and preserved in the museums and ossuaries that have been built in the territory.
Author’s recommendation
Along the way, you can visit the Kozjak Waterfall and the Italian Ossuary.
A visit to the Walk of Peace Visitor Center is highly recommended.
