Sage Trail (Tiziana Weiss Trail)

The Tiziana Weiss path is a 2.5 km route between the towns of Santa Croce and Aurisina. An evocative and very scenic stretch from which to enjoy spectacular views of the Gulf of Trieste (from the coast of Slovenia, to the Miramare castle to the Grado Lagoon). It is also called the "Path of the sage" due to the large presence of this aromatic plant. It is dedicated to the famous mountaineer from Trieste Tiziana Weiss, who died in 1978 following an accident in the Pale di San Martino. It runs parallel to the coastal road, without significant differences in height, skirting the karst edge. The only path that crosses uphill leads to the Liburnia lookout, a tower that was built in the 19th century with the aim of maintaining the right pressure for the aqueduct.

Coming from Santa Croce, the path branches off to the right 200 m after passing via del Pucino. From Aurisina, on the other hand, the departure can be set near the Slovenian middle school Igo Gruden, where there are more parking possibilities. This is also the starting point for the steep Fishermen's Path which leads to the beach of Canovella degli Zoppoli.
