The park lies at the foot of
Mount Calvo and
Mount Spaccato. It is an excellent starting point for excursions in the
Karst region of Trieste.
Several trails meet at this location, including the
Roman Road that connects the city centre of
Trieste to the Karst, the
Derin Trail that leads through the village of
Banne to
Opicina and many other
Italian Alpine Club (Club Alpino Italiano - CAI) trails.
According to some studies and research, the Roman Road (
Trail n. 11) originally connected Trieste with the Slovenian town of
Postumia and probably followed an even older route dating back to the
Bronze and Iron Ages. The remains of a
Castelliere, a fortified settlement typical of these historic periods, have been discovered on Mount Calvo.
The road was used in more recent times by the people of the village of Padriciano in order to reach Trieste and sell their products.
The
Derin Trail offers an extraordinary view of the
Gulf of Trieste and leads the hike all the way to the
Opicina Obelisk.
Globojner Park is an excellent place to enjoy a walk in nature and experience the essence of the Karst.
