Duration 4 hours: 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m
Meeting place: Hotel Sabotin Solkan

PROGRAM

At the crossing between Italy and Slovenia, the old village of Solkan stands as the guardian of the Soška and Vipava valleys. On the map, it can be confused with Nova Gorica, but Solkan hides much older attractions.
From in front of the Hotel Sabotin, the old villa of Goriška, we will walk around the old town center and stop under the old village lime tree, where the village well once stood. We will get to know the story of the place and life along the border.
We will visit the museum of famous Solkan carpenters, where we will learn about the craft tradition that shaped the lives of Solkan residents in the 20th century and charted the development of the Yugoslav furniture industry.
We will stand under the Solkan bridge, which is the pride of Solkan residents, because as a technological monument with the largest stone railway arch in the world, it stands majestically over the Soča river and greets passers-by. We will listen to the story of the Soška Franta, which took place on Sabotin and Skalnica.
We will walk along the emerald beauty that gave life to the place, to the “Dam”, where the Paper Mill and Sawmill used to stand…
Maybe a coffee with a view over the river?

PROGRAM

Na prehodu med Italijo in Slovenijo kot varuh Soške in Vipavske doline stoji stara vas Solkan. Na zemljevidu jo lahko zamenjamo z Novo Gorico, vendar Solkan skriva veliko starejše zanimivosti.

Izpred hotela Sabotin, stare Goriške vile se bomo sprehodili okoli starega mestnega jedra in postali pod staro vaško lipo, kjer je nekoč stal vaški vodnjak. Spoznali se bomo z zgodbo kraja in življenja ob meji.

Obiskali bomo muzej znanih Solkanskih mizarjev, kjer bomo spoznali tradicijo obrti, ki je krojila življenja Solkancev v 20 stoletju i začrtala razvoj Jugoslovanske industrije Meblo.

Postali bomo pod Solkanskim mostom, ki je ponos nam Solkancev, saj se kot tehnološki spomenik z največjim kamnitim železniškim lokom na svetu, mogočno steguje nad reko Sočo in pozdravlja mimoidoče. Prisluhnili bomo zgodbi Soške frante, ki se je odvijala na Sabotinu in Skalnici.

Sprehodili se bomo ob smaragdni lepotici, ki je dala kraju življenje, do »Jezu«, kjer je včasih stala Papirnica in žaga…

Mogoče kavica na razgledu nad reko?
