In almost all open-air Great War museums it is possible to experience a walk through at least one trench, which is a symbol of military excellence of the First World War. Excavated in the rock or the earth, they allowed soldiers to shoot at enemy lines and to shelter as much as possible from bullets and the weather.
But getting in and fighting in a trench, as well as getting out, required some skill. This is the reason the military leaders had these trenches dug out even in the training camps so that when the soldiers were sent to the front they were not completely unprepared.
Here it is possible to see and walk through a trench dug out of the Karst rock which is about 50 metres long. The trench just like all those at the front follows a zig-zagging path (this was to limit the damage in case there were explosions inside) and was a couple of metres deep, with a protective mound obtained from the soil dug out of it.
Behind the trench, some traces of the walkways can still be seen. These were realized to allow the soldiers to get in and out of the trench.
