Gorizia/Nova Gorica
Highlight • Settlement
In May 1945 Tito advanced with his Yugoslav partisans to the Isonzo / Soca. In 1947, in the Peace of Paris, the new border between Italy and Yugoslavia was decided. The division of the city was sealed. The border was set arbitrarily along the railway line. Today, instead of barbed wire and high fences, colorful flower pots mark the border between Slovenia and Italy.

In 2025, the twin city, along with Chemnitz in Germany, will bear the title of European Capital of Culture.
Otherwise, Gorizia is just a beautiful, manageable city with nice cafes and restaurants, pedestrian zone and great opportunities for mountain biking in the area.

Solkan Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
Completed in the early 1900s, it was part of a series of bridges (worth visiting) and tunnels on the railway line that connected Vienna to the southern provinces of the empire.
Legend has it that, when the wooden scaffolding that allowed its construction was being removed, the dutiful Austrian engineer in charge of the construction site was observing the scene from a nearby cliff with a gun in his hand, ready to put an end to his life if the total lowering of the bridge arch had been greater than that foreseen by his calculations.
The engineer survived, not like the bridge blown up by the A-U themselves during the First World War...
