    Three different open-air museums enrich this decidedly challenging stage of the Walk of Peace: the one at Prižnica (also called hill of death), the one at Vodice, and the one at Škabrijel (San Gabriele). They will lead the hiker to confront both magnificent landscapes and remains of trenches and fortifications dating back to the Great War. These relics allow you to get an idea of what the reality of war was like in the points where some of the most violent and bloody battles in the area were fought. From there, you proceed to Gorizia and Nova Gorica where the stage ends at Piazza della Transalpina/Trg Evrope, the square that symbolizes friendship and cooperation between two nations.

    Author’s recommendation

    To visit the military cemetery near the Solkan (Salcano) road bridge and the homonymous largest stone railway bridge in the world with a span of 85 m.

    Safety information

    Given the challenging route, it is recommended to approach it with good physical preparation and plenty of water and food supplies.

    Roadbook

    The route starts from Plave and, after crossing the Soča (Isonzo) river, continues towards Paljevo. Here, shortly after, it turns onto the old war trail where the remains of the front line of both sides are visible and it climbs towards the summit of Prižnica. Then it descends to some Austro-Hungarian caves up to the church of San Quirino. From there it reaches the Vodice Open-Air Museum, with its extensive cave system. A new descent leads to the Preški vrh pass and the sanctuary of Sveta Gora (Holy Mountain) up to Prevala, where two commemorative parks are located. A new ascent leads to the summit and the Škabrijel Open-Air Museum, the scene of bloody clashes. The stage ends descending towards Solkan and reaching Piazza della Transalpina/Trg Evrope which unites Nova Gorica and Gorizia.
