8 August Bridge on the Isonzo River

Highlight • Bridge

The 8 August Bridge is one of the fundamental road axes between the city of Gorizia and the Isonzo area. Its name recalls an extremely symbolic date for the city. On 8 August 1916 the 28th Infantry Regiment of the Pavia Brigade, commanded by second lieutenant Aurelio Baruzzi, reconquered the city after the retreat of the Austro-Hungarian army. It was the first tangible victory achieved after almost 15 months of war.

A short distance from the 8th August Bridge, intended for vehicular traffic, stands parallel the Railway Bridge over the Isonzo, an imposing structure characterized by stone support pillars and steel beams which extends for over 200 meters and which played a crucial role in connection of the railway networks between Gorizia and Nova Gorica.

Italy–Slovenia Border at Collio

Highlight • Monument

State border between Italy and Slovenia.

The garrison point on the Italian side is abandoned and, unfortunately, with broken windows.

The view of the Collio, both from the Italian and Slovenian sides, is incredible and deserves a short stop.

On the Italian side the border is preceded by a constant and pedalable climb of about 1 km at around 6-7%

Ruttars Climb

Highlight • Climb

Crossroads for the climb that leads to Ruttars and its "belvedere" ... 3 km fun with generally light climbs apart from a couple of double-digit snatches

This useful fountain is located at the northern entrance to the Plessiva forest, at the entrance to the car park and near the information board.

Unfortunately I didn't find a bin, other than the one for canine biological waste, but it doesn't matter when the main objective is to restore one's water supplies 😉

View of Trussio Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a beautiful view of the Castle of Trussio, first mentioned in 1257. During the war between the Emperor and the Venetian Republic, the old castle was destroyed in 1511 - the building that can still be seen today was built on its ruins. Having served as a hunting lodge for years, the complex now houses an excellent restaurant.
