WOP 9IT Nova Gorica - San Martino del Carso/Martinščina

Starting from the square where the itinerary begins - Piazza della Transalpina/Trg Evrope - the itinerary passes through a number of important landmarks, such as the various Outdoor Museums, which characterize a territory that is now green and flourishing. Mount San Michele/Debela Griža is certainly one of the most known mountains, with regard to the battlefront of the First World War in the territory surrounding the Isonzo River. An important Outdoor Museum has been created on the mountain: it contains the remains of the conflict that are still clearly visible, as well as various monuments erected on the site after the war, as well as a remarkable Multimedia Museum. An additional cultural highlight is provided by the final destination of this stage: San Martino del Carso, which became famous thanks to the poem dedicated to the town by the poet and soldier Giuseppe Ungaretti.
