    A short route perfect for those who want to combine a historical approach with the places of the Great War, among cemeteries and natural caves used for military purposes, with the ethnographic and natural beauties of the Karst environment. Typical of this short and easily manageable route for any type of hiker, thanks also to the low elevation gain, are the small villages, with groups of houses in Karst style built in stone. The pastures are enclosed by typical dry stone walls. The characteristic nature offers both a splendid spring bloom among wild plums, broom, and forsythia, and a surprising foliage that paints the territory gold and deep red in the autumn period.

    Author’s recommendation

    The historic village of Štanjel, 9 km from Komen, is worth a visit.

    In Gorjansko, the church of St. Andrew with paintings by the artist Tone Kralj is interesting, and just outside the village is the Austro-Hungarian cemetery with 6,000 soldiers fallen during the Great War.
