Napoleon Bridge, Stone bridge in Kobarid Municipality, Slovenia.
The Napoleon Bridge connects the left and right banks of the Soča River at its narrowest gorge, providing passage over the emerald waters below.
Originally constructed in 1750, the stone bridge received its name when Napoleon's troops marched across it during their advance into the Soča valley in 1797.
Two monuments stand beside the bridge to commemorate the partisan resistance and the execution of Ivan Berginc by SS soldiers in November 1943.
The bridge location serves as a starting point for numerous hiking trails, connecting visitors to nearby attractions including the Kozjak Waterfalls and Kobarid Museum.
Austrian forces destroyed the original stone structure during World War I, leading Italians to build a wooden replacement before installing an iron crossing.
