    Second stage of the section from Bovec to Kranjska Gora, characterized by splendid panoramic points that frame the places that housed the rear areas of the Great War on the Isonzo front.

    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.

    Roadbook

    The stage starts from Dom Trenta, a couple of kilometers from which there is an Austro-Hungarian cemetery, and climbs along the Soča River Trail up to its source. It then continues, skirting Vršič and reaching the point where in March 1916, 110 Russian prisoners involved in the construction of the road died. With a short detour, it is possible, under the Šupca viewpoint, to admire the remains of a cable car dating back to the Great War. Reaching the Vršič pass, the route continues to the Tičarjev dom refuge and the remains of some bunkers from the time of the Treaty of Rapallo. After ascending to Poštarski dom, the descent towards Kranjska Gora begins. Near the Erjavčeva koča refuge you can see two burial sites of Russian prisoners. Once above Stari Tamar, the route continues along the Vršič road and proceeds along the path to the Russian Chapel. Then it descends again to Mali Tamar, Jasna lake, and finally to Kranjska Gora, the end of the stage.
