Mali Kras

It's an archaeological site on a small hill with a view deep down to the Gulf of Trieste. My colleague and I visited it during a tour on Tiger's Path. We got there after a one-hour walk from Beka village. We turned from the asphalt road onto macadam. We walked this macadam for more than one hour. This karst overgrown world along the road is protected with wire on both sides. Only on one non-overgrown bare clearing a herd of horses was grazing. After one hour we came across Knafelc's markers, which directed to a slight overgrown hillock. Before the hillock there was non-overgrown land and deep down we spotted the Gulf of Trieste. On the hill we found ruins of the Mali Kras hillfort. There are lots of ruins. I counted more than ten objects. I don't know the exact origin. On this terrain during WWI there was a military observation post. They could observe the entire Gulf of Trieste. On some wall of a former quite large object there is even a stamp and next to it even a box for entries. I really didn't expect we would see the whole sea.
