Access: Approximate 1 km from Bovec, in the direction towards the border crossing of Predel/Predil and the valley of Trenta, a small parking site lies by the right side of the road, on the east rim of the Bovec plain. A board before the parking site calls attention to the outdoor museum. From the parking site a track runs to the information board, where the circular tour along the remains of the First World War begins. The access to the outdoor museum is easy.

Time required for visit: 1 hour

Historical outline: The Austro-Hungarian line of defence in the Bovec area ran from Mt. Rombon, dropped into the Bovec basin, crossed it and on the left bank of the Soča/Isonzo ascended across the slope of Humčič to Mt. Javoršček. After the Italian advance and the conquest of Bovec in August 1915, the Austro-Hungarian army fortified its first line of defence along the east rim of the Bovec basin, on two elevations: Ravelnik (519 m) and Stržišče (486 m). Both these elevations form a natural barrier, which was turned into the pillar of the Austro-Hungarian defence in the valley by means of fortified positions, caves and trenches. The two elevations also conceal and protect the road fork and the beginning of the road to the valley of the Koritnica and the Soča. The Italian army had a more demanding task, since it had to fortify their positions in an open plain area. It occupied the deserted Bovec and the Bovec plain towards Čezsoča village. However, in spite of fierce battles and numerous casualties the Italian troops were not successful in the Bovec basin. The positions of both belligerent sides settled on this part of the front and did not essentially change during the following two years, all until the Austro-Hungarian-German breakthrough in October 1917. On the day of the breakthrough, 24 October 1917, the use of lethal gas by the German troops enabled the Austro-Hungarian infantry to break through the first Italian line of defence practically unimpeded.

Present situation: Arranged on the slope of Mt. Ravelnik is an outdoor museum. A circular route runs along the remains of the first Austro-Hungarian line of defence. Besides the trenches and connection galleries, there are also some caves, pillboxes, machine-gun emplacements and reconstructed cabins. On a relatively small area a great number of remains can be seen.

In charge of the reconstruction and maintenance of the Austro-Hungarian positions on Mt. Ravelnik is the Society Dreizehn-Dreizehn (13–13) of Bovec, in collaboration with the "Fundacija Poti miru v Posočju" ("The Walks of Peace in the Soča Region Foundation").
