    This short route which is perfect for travellers who wish to match a historical approach to the sites of the Great War involving cemeteries and natural caves exploited for war purposes with the ethnographic and natural beauty of the natural environment of the Karst. This route, which is short and easy for all types of walkers thanks to its moderate gradient, is characterised by small hamlets with groups of stone houses built in the Karst style. The pastures surrounded by characteristic dry-stone walls. The typical vegetation, can be enjoyed in spring when wild plums, brooms and forsythia are in bloom, and in autumn when the foliage paints the countryside in shades of gold and deep scarlet.

    Author’s recommendation

    The historical village of Stanjel, which is located at a distance of 9 kilometres from Komen, is also well worth a visit.

     

     In Gorjansko, the Church of St. Andrew features paintings by artist Tone Kralj. Just outside the village lies the Austro-Hungarian cemetery with 6,000 soldiers who fell during the Great War.
