The Rilke path is a panoramic itinerary that runs along the Duino Cliffs Nature Reserve, overlooking the Upper Adriatic. Remained for a long time in a state of neglect, it was restored in 1987 after a long recovery work carried out by the provincial administration of Trieste and the municipality of Duino-Aurisina. It is named after Rainer Maria Rilke, a Prague poet who from here found inspiration for his "Duino Elegies" at the time he lived, at the beginning of the twentieth century, as a guest of the castle of the princes Torre and Tasso. In its development, the path offers three panoramic observation points, set up in correspondence with those that during the Second World War were anti-aircraft positions. The route starts, in an East - West direction, from the Tourist Office (AIAT) of Sistiana, located along the SS 14, near the Mare Pineta campsite. It ends in Duino near the castle and the United World College. In its entirety, this sort of protected natural terrace stretches for a length of about 2.5 km. Halfway through the route, at the highest point, the route leaves the rocky ridge to enter the vegetation and return to the coast line again. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and evocative walks overlooking the Gulf of Trieste.
