In the Monfalcone Great War Theme Park, the trenches are still in an extraordinary state of preservation and allow for an understanding of the hard and tragic life of soldiers in the trenches during World War I.

Small lake with a water level that undergoes significant seasonal variations, surrounded by a route partly on white roads without technical difficulties, and partly on a single-track path with a karst bottom, therefore technically challenging but allowing access to various observation platforms suspended over the lake. To avoid the section with crashes, ups and downs, tight turns and stones sticking out of the ground, it is possible to complete the loop along a small road (always little frequented) slightly further from the lake which therefore takes away some of the magic... I recommend visiting the spring area, truly fascinating.

An unmarked chasm; you have to know it to know its existence. It is said that in ancient times it was the course of a river, perhaps the Vipava.

If you are nearby, it is worth a look. It is difficult to linger too long, as there are about a billion mosquitoes that are obviously all starving.
