Nova Gorica railway station<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The station is located opposite to the Europe Square and in the same building as the Museum on the Border - Museum Collection Kolodvor. It\u2019s a good starting point if you are interested in exploring what So\u010da Valley<\/strong><\/a> offers. Did you know that the GO!2025 logo colour represents the colour of the river So\u010da? And the train will take you across the So\u010da river through the Solkan Bridge, the world's longest stone arch railroad bridge, that spans 85 meters and was completed in 1905 as part of the Bohinj Railway. Though demolished in World War I, it was rebuilt using the original plans and remains in use today. Recognized as a technical monument in 1985, it enjoys special protection.<\/p>\n
