Again the Soča river (Isonzo), with its emerald waters and winding bends as the protagonist of this first part of the second stage. An ascent to its springs that does not stop, but continues, through mountain passes and paths that allow the eye to glimpse among a sovereign and beautiful nature the remains of that part of the Great War connected to the rear areas and the zones further from the front line but essential for troop supplies.
Author’s recommendation
Recommended is the Austro-Hungarian cemetery in Trenta, the Juliana alpine botanical garden.
Nearby, the Mlinarica River Gorges and the Julius Kugy monument. A very visited spot is also the source of the Soča river.
Below the Šupca viewpoint, interesting remains of a cable car from the time of the Great War.
Below the Vršič (next to and at the height of the Erjavčeva koča refuge) are 2 cemeteries of Russian prisoners of war.
