Kobarid Municipality

Kobarid is a municipality in the Soça Valley near the Italian border with mountains and the emerald Soça River running through it. The area includes several settlements spread across an alpine landscape.

The Battle of Caporetto in 1917 was a major military engagement where Austro-Hungarian forces defeated Italian troops. This conflict left lasting marks on the region and its communities.

The Kobarid Museum displays World War I exhibits through photographs, maps, and artifacts that document the region's military past. Visitors can see how this conflict shaped the lives of local people.

The area is well connected through roads to major Slovenian destinations and served by regular bus routes. Visitors should be prepared for mountainous terrain and bring appropriate gear.

The Santo Antonio Chapel sits on a hillside as a memorial containing the graves of over 7,000 Italian soldiers from World War I. It stands as a quiet witness to the losses of that era.
