Toprecommended route
From Monfalcone to Gorizia, through the places of the Great War.
This route of great historical value crosses the Gorizia karst. Starting from Monfalcone, you pedal through the low Karst mountains, sadly known for having been the scene of the main battles on the eastern front of the First World War. After passing Doberdò del Lago we pass through San Martino del Carso, a place to which a poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti was dedicated. We continue on and arrive at Monte San Michele, a place known for its trenches, which can be found in the open-air museum. Also interesting is the multimedia museum where the latest technology allows visitors to relive the dramatic events that occurred in this area. We continue through Savogna d'Isonzo to arrive in Gorizia, where in one of its trattorias, we can take a small regenerating break. The return to Monfalcone passes through Gradisca d'Isonzo and Sagrado before reaching Fogliano di Redipuglia, where a visit to Italy's largest military shrine is a must.
In Doberdò del Lago you can make a small diversions to the lake of the same name.
