Beautiful, perfectly preserved trench, which allows you to understand the real living conditions of the Italian soldiers who during the First World War faced each other with the Austro-Hungarian troops. The low walkway and the step to aim the enemy with rifles make us understand how ephemeral life was in war.
About halfway there are steps through which you descend into a cave dug to shelter from bombing and, probably, as a reservoir for ammunition.
