HISTORICAL ITINERARIES

Many pages of our history were written in this region, background of the World War, fought also to obtain back the area which at that time was under the Austrian role. So there are many and interesting paths to run.
You can leave from Sacrario Militare of Redipuglia, The Soldiers’memorial building of Redipuglia has been inaugurated in 1938 by the architect Giovanni Greppi and the sculptor Giannino Castiglioni. The monument is situated on a slope of Monte Sei Busi, scene of many bloody battles during World War. The monument is organized like an army in fighting trim,  below stands the grave of the duke of Aosta, commander of the 3rd army, at the sides the graves of his generals. Here in the twenty-two large steps were buried 39.857 known fallen, while the other 60.330 unknowns were put in the chapel on the top of the mountain.
In the chapel and in the near rooms are preserved personal belongings of the Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers. The stately monument is situated in front of Monte Elia the first military cemetery of the 3rd army, today a sort of open museum well-known as Parco della Rimembranza. The main road bordered by cypresses is decorated by reproductions of antiques made of Karst stone and by epigraphs of the first memorial.
On the top of the hill the ruins of a Roman column celebrates the memory of the fallen of every war, “without distinctions of time and fortune”.
Another singular way to keep touch with the history of these places is by train. The train will ride on a part of a historical "Transalpina Railway", which was inaugurated on July 19th 1906 in order to complete the railway that linked Vienna and Central Europe with the Adriatic regions of Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially with the port at Trieste.
The construction of the railway was for those times very complicated and demanded numerous exceptional architectural achievements (tunnels, bridges, viaducts etc.), which made the railway famous. Especially remarkable are the bridge of Solkan with its 85 metres long arcade, which is still world largest, and the tunnel of Podbrdo, the genuine passing under the Julian Alps with the length of  6327 metres.
World conflicts of the previous century have caused Transalpina loose its role of a great commercial railway and made it a secondary line, which is nowadays reviving as a touristic railway connecting Austria, Slovenia and Italy. The old train will be pulled by a steam engine from the Railway Museum of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and touch the most beautiful zones from Gorizia to Bled, through wonderful natural landscape.
