Mount Sabotin Park of Peace

The start of the trail lies in Slovenian territory, east of the village of Gonjače. The entrance can be reached by car and is marked by a clearly visible stone pyramid, the symbol of the Park. Continuing by car along the road, you will come to two further pyramids, erected to commemorate the starting point of the Italian attacks that proved decisive in the conquest of Mount Sabotino. Beyond these pyramids, there is a large parking area where you can leave your vehicle and continue on foot. The circular route begins shortly before the mountain hut and leads behind it, where several tunnels can be seen together with reconstructed soldiers’ barracks and a cableway. It then continues along the ridge which, by always keeping straight on, leads to the summit of Sabotino and on to Quota San Valentino. Once here, the route proceeds along the Italian side. In this section, a long stretch is sheltered by vegetation. Continuing straight ahead, you reach a paved military road; follow it to the right until you come to the junction with CAI trail 097. Then continue uphill along CAI trail 097 until you pass the barracks building. Here you reach a fork: leave CAI trail 097 and take the path to the left, which leads back to the mountain hut where the route began. Those who decide to remain on the CAI trail instead will return to the summit of Sabotino.
