Location: Sgonico / Zgonik, Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
Mount Lanaro (Volnik in Slovenian) rises in the municipal area of Sgonico. With its 544 meters above sea level it is the third highest mountain in the province of Trieste, after Monte Cocusso (Kokos) and Monte Goli. Since 1996 it has been part of the homonymous Nature Reserve. The forest cover is particularly significant, alternating the extensive areas occupied with karst scrub with beautiful examples of oak and turkey oak woods.
The wide and panoramic summit, characterized by a wooden lookout, can be reached by crossing an area of karst land in the process of scrubbing. From the terrace you can enjoy a splendid 360 ° view: from the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa to the church of Monrupino up to the Monte Nanos massif and the Vipava Valley.
