    Hiking

    The roughly three-kilometre hiking trail along the cliffs commemorates the stay of the well-known Prague poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 to 1926). In 1912 he was a guest of his patron, Princess Marie von Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe, and it was here that he began to work on his "Duino Elegies", one of the best-known works of German poetry.

    Hiking

    Nice walk with many viewpoints. In the distance, on the right, you can see the coast that draws the Bay of Panzano which ends with the mouth of the Isonzo river.
