ヴィッレッセの絶景の山頂・トップ11

A beautiful museum where you can admire and study historical artifacts to understand life in the trenches.

The museum has recently been re-arranged and equipped with multimedia stations. The museum guides make the narration of the battles of the Carso compelling.

Mount Cosici (Cosich)/Košnik is a marginal hill of the Doberdò del Lago/Doberdob Karst on which the first line of Austro-Hungarian resistance was based from June 1915 to August 1916, when Italian troops occupied it as part of the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. During that abundant year it was bloodily attacked several times by the Italians (west and south sides), without success. The remains of the Austro-Hungarian fortifications, however, are largely surmounted by the vestiges of the trenches, shelters and artillery positions built by the Royal Italian Army after the occupation, between August 1916 and October 1917. The place is of great historical and landscape interest. Text: Marco Pascoli

The descent towards the Northeast is fun and technical for XC, it has a couple of slightly technical passages on rocks, pay attention in case of wet ground

A fairly well-kept panoramic area, although with a series of works in progress

Lest we forget World War I. Short but challenging climb; motorized traffic close to zero

Well known thanks to the poems of Giuseppe Ungaretti, who fought here for several months, Mount San Michele was the scene of very tough battles on the Isonzo front, especially in the first year of the war. The peak, defended by Hungarian troops, was fundamental for the defense of the Isonzo front and in particular of the city of Gorizia. Italian soldiers attacked this relief of just 275 meters several times with catastrophic results especially during the Second and Third Battle of the Isonzo. Only in August 1916, during the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo, came the turning point with the conquest of the peak. Declared a Monumental Zone in 1922, today this museum area allows access to the various gun galleries on the summit of the mountain enjoying, thanks to augmented reality, a truly immersed experience of what the Great War was in this territory.
