An interesting trail combining nature and history in the Collio and Vipava Valley.

The castle features a permanent exhibition on the ground floor and rotating exhibitions on the upper floors. Because the castle is situated on a hill, it also offers beautiful views of the surrounding area.

A castle has stood in Dobrovo since the 13th century, but it slowly fell into disrepair over the centuries. A new Renaissance building was built on this site at the beginning of the 17th century, which has remained relatively unchanged to this day and is considered one of the most beautiful castles in the Goriška region. Dobrovo Castle will enchant visitors at first glance with its imposing and distinctive appearance. Its ground plan is almost square, with symmetrically placed towers at the corners. The outer wall was likely built during the Second Venetian War (1615–1617) and converted into a portico after its end. One of the towers was converted into a chapel dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. The chapel walls are decorated with hung originals and copies of Gothic frescoes from the northern Primorska region. The first owners are said to have been the Counts Colloredo, for a shorter period the Marquise Montecuccoli, and from the end of the 18th century the Catterini-Erzberg family from Gorizia. In 1872, ownership passed into the hands of the Baguer family following a wedding. On the first floor of the castle is the Knights' Hall, featuring the coats of arms of several noble families who owned the castle in the past. This hall contains a preserved mural depicting the naval attack on the city. Today, the Knights' Hall hosts numerous musical performances and other events. Also of interest is the Hunting Room, where the treasures of Count Baguer, painted on the walls by Clemente Del Neri in 1894, are displayed. His works of art can also be viewed in the stairwell.

Kromberk Castle, located in the village of the same name, is a typical Renaissance building with an almost square floor plan, whose four corner towers are a striking feature. The original castle was built here at the beginning of the 13th century. Kromberk Castle acquired its present form at the beginning of the 17th century, when the nobleman Giovanni Maria Coronini purchased the property. The castle was heavily damaged in both World Wars, and unfortunately, its original furnishings have not survived. Today, the castle has been renovated and delights visitors with a beautiful, well-kept park featuring Baroque fountains and lapidary objects. The castle is the headquarters of the Gorizia Regional Museum, which houses permanent exhibitions and temporary collections.

A fortified castle, standing very prominently on a hill next to the road. The castle was rebuilt after the previous one had fallen into disrepair. A real eye-catcher from all sides. The castle houses a restaurant, a wine shop, and an art collection. Cycling around it is worthwhile, and a view of the courtyard, as well as the vineyards and hills surrounding it, is also worthwhile.
