Slovenia

Isonzo River, Soca River Valley, Slovenia
The 99-year-old Transalpina rail line travels from Nova Gorica up the gorgeous Soca River valley. The river’s beauty—waters tinged emerald by calcium carbonate from the surrounding limestone mountains topped with gleaming churches—belies its bloody role in World War I, when more than 1,760,000 soldiers died over three years without either side advancing. If that sounds familiar to Hemingway fans, it’s because Papa set “A Farewell to Arms” here—though he used the Italian name for the river and called it the Isonzo Front.
