On the summit of Mount Cucusso (also known as Kokoš in Slovenian, whose border is only a few dozen meters away), the highest peak of the Trieste Karst with its 672 meters of altitude, there is a burial mound dating back to the Bronze Age. It stands in a decidedly panoramic spot.

It is a burial mound that dates back to the Bronze Age, it is one of the most panoramic points of the Karst, with a view that ranges from Istria to the Julian Alps.
Beware of vipers in the spring-summer period!
