Bridge of Solkan
If you walk along the pathway from the tavern to Solkan, you will be surprised just around the corner by the view on the bridge of Solkan, stretching over the river Isonzo. 220 meters long giant represents the peak of bridge engineering knowledge of the early 20th century. It also boasts of the largest stone arc in the world!
It is one of the 65 bridges on the railroad of Bohinj, which connected the port of Trieste and Vienna. The fatal clashes of the First World War did not spare the bridge, but it was later restored to its original shape.
