The route leads to the discovery of the places where the first 6 battles of the Isonzo and the taking of Gorizia were fought. You cross the first Italian and Austro-Hungarian lines with trenches, memorials, gunboats. You pedal at the foot of Mount Sabotino, pass through the Oslavia military shrine, San Martino sul Carso, and arrive at the sacred area of Mount San Michele with the national history museum positioned between the trenches of the Italian army and those of the Austro-Hungarian army. The second day is devoted to monuments in Slovenia such as in Cerje where the Peace Monument is located: it is a 25-meter-high tower from which there is a view of the Vipava Valley. We continue to Renče / Ranziano, Bukovica / Boccavizza and Stara Gora /Monte Santo from which there is a magnificent view. The route ends as we enter Nova Gorica.
