Sabotin Peace Park Bunkers and Caves

The Sabotin mountain hut was once a barracks for the Yugoslav army, as the border between Slovenia and Italy runs along the entire Sabotin ridge, as the guards on the way warn us. Since Sabotin was also a strategic point and witnessed many battles during the First World War, we can see the preserved bunkers, ditches and caverns, which are taken care of at the Sabotin Peace Park. They also organize guided tours.

The view in front of the hut takes us from the Dolomites, Carniola and Julian Alps to Goriška Brda and the Italian plain all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

Museum of the Great War and shelter open on weekends. Excellent base for excursions on the Sabotino.

If you arrive by car, park on a parking before the road bridge towards Goriška Brda and climb Sabotin via southern slope to reach the ruins on the ridge. From there its about 15 - 20 minutes to reach the open air museum and refuge. Descend via northern slope to reach cycle-path Solkan - Plave, turn right and just follow the path back to Solkan.
