    This itinerary is suitable for everyone. It guides hikers along the slopes of Mount Ermada to discover the most characteristic features of the Karst, which includes natural, cultural, traditional and historical dimensions. Indeed, Mount Ermada not only offers the classic landscape of the Karst, with its warm shades of colour in autumn and rich blossoms in spring but it also guards, now partly hidden by trees and bushes, of the trenches and fortifications built by the Austro-Hungarian Army to defend Trieste during the First World War. Along the way, visitors will also have the opportunity to visit the village of Ceroglie, which has preserved almost intact the characteristics of a typical Karst village.

    It may be interesting to extend the route by following one of the loops of the Open-air Museum of the Great War.
