Location: Nova Gorica, Goriška, Slovenia
A battle line took place here during the First World War, and some caverns and monuments are well preserved to this day.
You can enjoy the incredible view from Sabotin to the Adriatic sea, Alps and Brda. Unfortunately, my pictures taken with the phone are not good enough to share.

A historic peak (World War I) that can be reached from two sides via asphalt and gravel roads and forest paths. Probably a "must see" for historians.
On Monte Sabatino there is a cross-border open-air museum Italy/Slovenia. The starting point is a former barracks, which today serves as an information point and restaurant. Due to its position, the mountain was one of the strategic factors during the Isonzo battles in World War I. The museum offers a tour of the second Austro-Hungarian defense line, which was defeated by the 2nd Italian Army on August 6, 1916 during the 6th Isonzo Battle. You can also see bunkers, positions, trenches, a complex tunnel system, caves and relics of war material.
