Trieste Karst

Trieste Karst came up again, always welcome on cold days nasmeh. This time we revisited the Doberdò plateau area known from WWI via unknown paths and newly discovered zone A, known as part of the Morgan Line at the end of WWII. Weather was great and nature showed us sumac in wonderful colors, although its beauty is already fading and leaves almost all brown.

We started at the small forgotten border crossing Clarici, which surprisingly on return was guarded by two Italian carabinieri velik nasmeh. Friendly, bored, but in the spirit of current political decisions. Continued along the slopes of the hills above Jamlje, descended to Doberdò and across the eastern part of the plateau with sad history towards Romjan. From there we headed back over the hills above the shipbuilding town Monfalcone and via Jamlje back to start. More concrete data in the photo story.

With this we conclude our exploration of Trieste Karst. We crossed it lengthwise and crosswise and never thought there was so much interesting here. We'll surely return, but time to move to other areas nasmeh.

Coordinates of starting point (border crossing Clarici): 45°48'53.7"N 13°35'46.8"E
We park at the border crossing Klariči between Brestovica na Krasu and Jamlje.1
We head towards the hamlet Komar on the Italian side. At the cacti we turn right onto the mountain path.2
The frost cuts to the bone and we are very glad for the warmth of the first sun :)3
The steep ascent to the slope above the valley also provides us with some additional warming.4
The path is barely visible but followable. Definitely an excursion for cold days at the end of the year.5
View of Jamlje. We will return through this village.6
235 m high Kremenjak. The summit is entirely on the Slovenian side.7
We continue on the Italian side. First we follow path 079, then switch to 075.8
As long as we are in the sun it is still warm, in the shade the temperature plummets.9
Slana. Some areas on the north side no longer get any sun at all.10
Temperature contrast. Pleasant sun on the right, deeply frozen ground on the left.11
We also encounter an area of sinkholes. In sequence I count at least ten.12
Even the sign above the marker indicates the obvious importance of this area.13
Leaving the northern side of the slope. The sun has not yet managed to thaw the frozen meadow14
At the hamlet Mikuli it crosses the main road15
On the opposite side it climbs the hill again, this time on the sunny side of the slope :)16
The path now has marking 072 and is slightly more trodden than the previous one17
At the next junction we turn onto path 077 which takes us to Doberdob18
Well-known … Doberdob, grave of the Slovenian boys. Signs *To the fallen Slovenian soldiers* are everywhere19
After a short refreshment we set off on 077a which is also used by cyclists20
On the Doberdob plateau there is plenty of heather but it is already quite browned. It glows only in direct sunlight21
We emerge in Romjanu, near which is the Trieste airport Ronke / Ronchi dei Legionari.22
We stick to the traffic-free outskirts of the town.23
I rarely photograph houses, but here I make an exception because of the really beautiful trees.24
We are already on path 78. The marker should mean *Pot gradišč*, but we saw only a bunch of military fortifications.25
For a start, we climb up to the ridge.26
Overgrown structures follow one after another…27
Probably a marker of the post-war Zone A, the so-called Morgan Line.28
Perhaps the abundance of such objects is also part of those times.29
Italian Tržič, more recognizable as Monfalcone.30
Again we turn into a more overgrown area.31
But soon we are on a better path and the ruj makes the day even nicer for us :)32
Here we turn right to view another peculiarity of these places.33
La Rocca, defensive tower with origins before the year 1000. They are just mounting Christmas decorations on the summit part :)34
We continue our path…35
Signs are everywhere, on the path towards Jamlje we will also visit some remains of the past36
These are the defensive lines on Golc. Some are arranged for tourists37
Others surprise with their majesty…38
Around the hill they are everywhere, no end in sight39
Down one we descend back to the marked path40
Still following 07841
This soon turns into a comfortable cart track42
We are already in the final part right before Jamlje43
In the village there are plenty of persimmons. Obviously nobody picks them and they serve more as decoration44
Less than a kilometer of asphalt follows to the border crossing45
Apparently not many hikers have been there, but in the spirit of today's times two armed policemen are present at the border46
GPS track of the hiked route. It accumulated 25 km and 700 m of ascent47
Triestine Karst. In total we have walked around 360 km and 11,000 m of ascent in this area48
