Napoleon bridge, Stone bridge in Kobarid, Slovenia.

The Napoleon Bridge spans the Soča River east of Kobarid, where the river narrows into a gorge before the Kobariška kotlina plain. Its concrete arch, about 20 metres wide and 8 metres across, forms a semicircle resting on vertical supports set into the rocky bed. The bridge links Drežnica and Smast with Kobarid and carries both pedestrians and vehicles.

A wooden bridge that once stood here was destroyed by Venetians in 1616, leading to the construction of a stone replacement in 1750. The structure gained its name when Napoleon's forces later marched through the region during their military campaigns.

Two memorials stand by the bridge, and locals hold annual jumps into the Soča from it. The name recalls French troops crossing during Napoleon's campaigns, though the present span was built by the Italians after World War I.

The easiest way to reach it is on foot from Kobarid or via hiking trails that lead directly to the bridge. The site is accessible year-round, though high water levels in the Soča river can occasionally make access difficult.

The present concrete bridge, about 20 m wide in span and 8 m wide, was built by the Italians after the First World War, replacing the stone bridge of 1750 that retreating Austrian troops had blown up. Two memorial plaques stand beside it, and locals organise jumps into the Soča from the bridge each year.
