On the 321-meter-high Mejnik, a hill above the village of Gonjače, stands a memorial dedicated to the victims of World War II and a lookout tower, offering the opportunity to take one of the most beautiful photos of Goriška Brda. The memorial in Gonjače is dedicated to the 315 victims of World War II, located on the right bank of the Soča River. Next to the memorial is a 23-meter-high lookout tower with 144 steps, built in 1961. In good weather, the tower offers panoramic views of various parts of the region: Brda, the Julian and Carnic Alps, the Dolomites, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Gulf of Trieste, the Karst, the Vipava Valley, and the Trnovski gozd. The architect Marko Šlajmer designed the tower.

A must see if you are in this region. 144 steps, built in 1961. Great view from the top. There is a water fountain, not sure if it is drinking water.

The steps up are worth it because of the beautiful view. There are four platforms to rest in between.
