We study the imaginary parts of the isoscalar electromagnetic and isovector axial form factors of the nucleon close to the 3 pi-threshold in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. At the two-loop level, the contributions arising from leading and next-to-leading order chiral pi N-vertices, as well as pion-induced excitations of virtual Delta(1232)-isobars, are calculated. It is found that the heavy baryon treatment overestimates substantially these 3 pi-continua. From a phenomenological analysis, that includes the narrow omega(783)-resonance or the broad a1-resonance, one can recognize small windows near threshold, where chiral 3 pi-dynamics prevails. However, in the case of the isoscalar electromagnetic form factors G$$s\atop{E,M}$$(t), the radiative correction provided by the pi0 gamma-intermediate state turns out to be of similar size.
