    The Mount Lanaro Loop Trail is a scenic route nestled in the nature of the Karst, ideal for people who enjoy discovering untouched wilderness and the unique sights on the border between Italy and Slovenia. The trail follows a circular route that takes visitors through oak woods, karst meadows and rocky outcrops typical of the area, with vegetation that changes with the seasons. The highlight is the summit of Mount Lanaro, which offers spectacular views from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The gradient is moderate, making the route accessible to medium-level hikers, while the variety of landscapes and the peaceful environment make it perfect for a refreshing day in the open air. The route is well signposted and easy to follow.

    Author’s recommendation

    The circuit is accessible all year round, but in autumn, the colours of the forests create a truly captivating and breathtaking backdrop.
