Kobarid

Kobarid (Caporetto, Karfreit) is situated at the meeting point of two valleys. The valley of the Nadiža river with its Breginjski kot stretches westward, and the Soca (Isonzo) valley in the east reaches in a gentle sweep down to Tolmin and rises up to Bovec, Vršic and Predil in the north. Kobarid is particulary known for its turbulent past and was inhabited as early as the Hallstatt Age. The archeological finds dating back to the age of the Roman Empire speak of Kobarid as an important stopover point on the Aquileia - Noricum route. And in the Middle Ages the settlement was owned by the Cividale Chapter.
Today Kobarid is a pleasant town dwarfed by towering mountains offering many points of interest and places ideal for hiking, hunting, and fishing. Marked trails lead from Kobarid to the mountaintops of Stol, Matajur, and Krn and to the waterfall of Kozjak. Invigorating waters of the Nadiža attract visitors in summer. The Krn mountain range looming over Kobarid marks the fringe of Triglav National Park , a realm of pristine nature harboring breathtaking vistas of mountain wilderness.
