Only short drive or walk to get there🥰
The most beautiful railway in Slovenia 🚞
Slovenia has more than 1200 km of railways. The main railways crossing Slovenia connect Austria and Italy, Austria and Croatia, and Italy and Hungary. Regional railways lead to all regions of Slovenia, and the most attractive ones are surely those connecting the Julian Alps and the Adriatic coast. Special experiences are offered mainly by e.g. the Bohinj Railway, which runs through no less than 28 tunnels, 5 galleries, and over 65 bridges! 😎
When the Bohinj Railway, the shortest railway route from central Europe to the Adriatic Sea (from Prague to Trieste), the Bohinj Tunnel was created for it in 1904. This is still the longest railway tunnel in Slovenia today (6327 m). 🇸🇮
An even more attractive special feature is the bridge across the River Soča near Solkan. The Solkan Bridge is the largest stone railway bridge in the world! Its main arch, with an 85-metre span, was built in 1906. It includes 4533 limestone blocks from nearby Nabrežina, close to Trieste. These blocks are interconnected with thin cement mortar layers. During World War I, this las, and also largest, stone giant among bridges was damaged; it was renovated in 1927. 🚞
