The Čelo Outdoor Museum
On the slope of the prominent hill Svinjak, which gives Bovška kotlina its signature image, the Austro-Hungarian army built a 200 m long trench with two positions for artillery, a kitchen, two residences, a watch tower, a shelter and embrasures in 1914. The fort which is now arranged as an outdoor museum played an important role right before the last, the 12th battle of the Isonzo Front, when horrific artillery fire from Čelo was hitting the Italian positions between Bovec and Čezsoča.
The museum is open all year round and there is no entrance fee.
