The historical-naturalistic hike that runs along the eastern ridge of the Kolovrat group, on the border between Italy and Slovenia, offers a fascinating overview of the history and nature of this area, marked by dramatic events during the First World War. This route, which develops along the three eastern peaks of the Kolovrat ridge, offers visitors an easy but evocative walk, with views over the Caporetto and Tolmino valleys.
Kolovrat is famous for being the theater of the 12th Battle of the Isonzo, a crucial conflict in Italian history, with a symbolic episode: the retreat of the Italian Army at Caporetto, where a third line of defense was established.
Here is also the memory of Riccardo Di Giusto, the first Italian soldier to fall in the conflict, killed on May 24, 1915 at Passo Zagradan.
Even today, walking along the trail, you can observe the remains of fortifications and trenches, tangible testimony of a past marked by conflict. Thanks to initiatives such as the INTERREG III A Italy/Slovenia program, the area has been transformed into an open-air museum, paying tribute to a history that continues to live through the landscape.
