The walk of peace - presentation
The Walk of Peace intertwines the heritage of the Isonzo Front with the natural wonders of The Upper Soča Region. It is also dedicated to the memory of numerous casualties of the First World War.
The Walk runs through six outdoor museums: Ravelnik, Čelo, Zaprikraj, Kolovrat, Mrzli vrh and Mengore. Along the walk there are military cemeteries and chapels, the fortress Kluže, the gorges of the Soča, the Koritnica and the Tolminka, idyllic alps within the Triglav National Park area, the Kozjak waterfall, two charnel houses, one at Kobarid another at Tolmin, the memorial church of the Holy Spirit at Javorca, etc. The Walk of Peace is marked and also furnished with visitors' books, seals and information boards. Its purpose is to present to visitors the cultural-historical heritage, the beauty of nature and ethnological particularities. Visits to most of these places can also be made as interesting hiking or biking tours, which offers the possibility of an active rest in the peaceful and unspoiled nature.
