The route of the old Austro-Hungarian railway today is a fascinating cycle/pedestrian path, named after Giordano Cottur, which starts from the center of the city of Trieste to reach the Slovenian town of Cosina. Completed in 1887, the railway network connected Trieste to Erpelle (Hrpelje), facilitating a lively coming and going of passengers between the eastern Karst, Istria and Trieste. After the Second World War, the railway continued to shuttle between the city and Draga Sant'Elia, the last town before the border. In 1958 the line was abolished and in 1966 the tracks were removed.

The track uses an old railway built over 100 years ago and abandoned after the end of World War II. There are several bridges and tunnels of which only one is illuminated with underground spotlights. The other tunnels are rather short.
On the side of the track there are benches and tables for picnics and rest
