The trail from where you can see the whole Trieste gulf
Pure white rocks precipitously facing the sea, the embracing aroma of maquis shrubland, unforgettable glimpses where eyes meet the blue sea: this is the Rilke trail!
The trail, named after the Bohemian poet Rainer Maria Rilke and inaugurated in 1987, is 1700 metres long and gives access to the Natural Reserve at Sistiana or Duino; the trail is almost flat, which means it can be done easily.
From here you can see the whole Trieste gulf, and you can admire thefalesie di Duino (Duino Reserve); its carbonate rocks, which are the same as those of the whole Karst upland, were created from shells that deposited on the bed of a shallow sea.
