Tour description
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Trieste at 9.30 a.m. (morning tour) or 2.30 p.m. (afternoon tour) to start an interesting half-day historical excursion around Mount Hermada, an area that witnessed brutal fights between the Italian and Austrian-Hungarian army during World War I. Mount Hermada was a highly sensitive strategic position for the Austrian - Hungarian Empire as it was the southernmost stronghold of the Austrian-Hungarian army, where the Austrian line met the Adriatic. At an elevation of 323 meters above sea level, it dominated the Carso range. For the Italians, the conquest of Mt. Hermada would mean reaching Trieste, a city then belonging to the Austrian Empire, but harshly sought after by the Italian irredentists. For the Austrians the loss of Mt. Hermada would mean leaving the door open for an Italian drive to Trieste and Lubiana. Although over 100.000 men died trying to overcome the Austrian front, the Hermada fortress was never defeated and today it is still possible to walk through trenches, shelters, caverns and war paths in search of memories of that tragic period. At the end of the tour we'll stop at an "osmizza", a typical and informal eating place where farmers sell their meats, cheeses and wine and where it is possible to taste a traditional Carso menu accompanied by the wine Terrano.
