Located just a few kilometers from Duino Castle, in the western sector of the Gorizia Karst, Lake Pietrarossa is one of the pearls of the Regional Natural Reserve shared with the nearby Lake Doberdò. Together with the latter, it represents one of the very rare examples in Europe of a karst lake: a temporary basin that occupies a natural depression called a polje. The charm of this place lies in its changing nature; it is not fed by surface rivers, but by the oscillations of the underground water table. During rainy periods, water emerges from the depths, flooding the plain, while in dry seasons the lake can almost disappear, leaving space for a verdant carpet of reeds and wet meadows. This alternation creates a unique ecosystem where the arid and rocky karst landscape meets a humid area rich in biodiversity, making it a paradise for birdwatching and silent excursions.

In the Monfalcone Great War Theme Park, the trenches are still in an extraordinary state of preservation and allow for an understanding of the hard and tragic life of soldiers in the trenches during World War I.

Fortified sinkhole a few hundred meters from the road. So called because the emblem of the Bersaglieri corps is still clearly visible on a wall of the sinkhole.

A beautiful museum where you can admire and study historical artifacts to understand life in the trenches.

The museum has recently been re-arranged and equipped with multimedia stations. The museum guides make the narration of the battles of the Carso compelling.
