The trenches of Cima Pietrarossa, on the Isonzo Karst, are a dramatic testament to the Great War. Located in a strategic position near Monte San Michele, these fortifications dug directly into the limestone rock were the scene of fierce clashes between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies. Today the site is part of an open-air museum where you can walk along the paths, explore the underground shelters, and observe the machine gun posts. The visit offers a deep immersion into the harsh reality of the front, combining historical memory with an extraordinary panorama stretching from the Julian Alps to the sea, in a place where the silence of nature has now taken the place of the roar of battles.

The Valle Cavanata Nature Reserve is a protected area of exceptional natural value located in the eastern part of the Grado lagoon. Formerly used as a fishing valley, it is today a wetland of international importance (Ramsar Site) dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity. The heart of the reserve is a vast brackish lagoon surrounded by reed beds and hygrophilous woods, which serves as a refuge and stopover area for thousands of migratory birds, including the famous pink flamingos and numerous species of ducks. Accessible via flat paths and cycle paths, the reserve offers several observation huts for birdwatching, allowing you to immerse yourself in a silence broken only by the calls of the fauna, a few kilometers from the sea.
