A walk along the Slovenian border, surrounded by the beauty of the Karst landscape, which allows tourists and hikers to have a clear view of the remains of the boundary line of the Isonzo Front. This boundary line, despite numerous attempts, was never crossed by Italian troops during the First World War. Important landmarks such as Mount Ermada/Grmada and Mount Cocco/Piciganišče also present a broad view of what were once the Austro-Hungarian defence structures for the city of Trieste/Trst, together with a breathtaking panorama that encompasses almost the entire territory, from the plains to the sea.
