FELDBAN
The story of feldban begins in WWI. In the 6th Battle of Isonzo, in August 1916, Italian army pushed the Austro-Hungarian one to the left bank of Isonzo River cutting its supply via the Bohinj Railway. As the remaining railways failed to provide sufficient supplies, they promoted the construction of new narrow-gauge railways – feldbans.
Today, there is a marked hiking trail on the Godovič-Idrija section of the Feldbahn, which you can walk on your own or with a guide.
