Rombon, Triglav National Park

Rombon or Veliki vrh is a 2208 m high peak north of Bovec.

Rombon is a rocky peak, in the Kanin group, which falls steeply into the valley of the Možnica stream on the north side, and from the south it is accessible along the light path from Bovec. With the central chain of Kanin, it binds it to the ridge of Ribeznov. The route from Bovec leads past Čuklje of the high mountain known for the fighting from the 1st world. war. From the summit of Rombon there is a beautiful view of the Soča valley and to the Kaninska and Mangart and Mangart group of mountains, Bavška Grintavec and Krn.

Rombon is known as the scene of bloody fighting in World War I. The massive Rombona Mountains was the Austrian rock "fortress" and the venue for constant Italian attacks, as the summit of Rombon was an excellent observation point for the entire Soča Valley. The first attack was triggered by the Italians on August 15, 1915 from Bovec and Plužna via Goričica. The summit of Čuklje was occupied on May 10, 1916, from where they created a good starting position for further attacks on Rombon. The Rombon strikes were still in the second half of 1916, until October 1917 and the 12th Isonzo Battle, when they had to withdraw under the pressure of the Austrian-German army throughout the front front all the way to the Piava River.
