Hiking on karst

Karst has numerous thematic trails and hiking trails, as well as side paths where hidden elements of Karst shine even more in their beauty. Each season is in its own way special for hiking. But in the winter, the nature is asleep and maybe this is the reason why it's even more attractive.

In Pliskovica, there is the “Pliska trail” – 6km long thematic path on which you can learn many details about Karst and life of its people in the past and present. You can also climb the 545m high hill called Volnik which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. During the year there are also many guided hikes on both of the paths. On the World Wetlands Day there is a guided hike from pond to pond. You can also follow the path which was in the past walked by women who sold milk – using this path you can visit the event “Open osmica” in Italy.

Nearby Pliskovica, there is a path from Sežana to Tomaj called the “Kosovel trail”. It is a 7km long marked trail which ends with a tour of the Kosovel homestead in Tomaj. The same path also leads from Sežana to Lokev from where you can climb the 647m high hill Kokoš. From there you can also continue the hike on the Italian side of the border. This trail is considered one of the most beautiful trails of Karst. In Štanjel, you can visit the “Fabiani trail” which is, as the name suggests, dedicated to Karst architect Maks Fabiani.
