Mountain biking

The only path that can be pedaled, even if in some places with great difficulty, is the one that climbs from the town of Samatorza. All the others can only be covered on foot or with the bike on your back. However, even if the climb is very demanding, the view from the top is truly satisfying: you can see a good part of the Trieste and Slovenian Karst up to the heights of Trstelj and Sv. Katarina, the Tarnova Forest, the Nanos, the 'Auremiano, as well as a large part of the Friuli plain and the coast.

Challenging and technical climb in some points, but the view is worth it

Mountain biking

Karst surface with a broken surface that offers little traction grip on steep slopes, a lot of effort to be able to admire a magnificent 360° panorama.
At the top are the remains of the Romanesque-Byzantine church dedicated to San Leonardo, the miracle-working bishop and protector of the harvests. The building perhaps dates back to the 10th-12th centuries and was razed to the ground during the First World War.
