Lands scarred by war. Lands that remember. But also lands that are alive, vibrant, and able to breathe new life. Rich lands that have not stood still in the face of the horrors that have passed through them. After several high-impact stages, this itinerary moves beyond, travelling from Mount Korada and descending between churches and villages where the traces of the war are still visible, blending and sometimes dissolving into a rich and lush territory surrounded by nature. Walking these trails, you'll feel how history stretches both back to the days when Šmartno lay near the Venetian Republic’s border, giving rise to its defensive architecture still visible today, and forward into the present, where battlefields have become vineyards.
