Long and tiring but very varied, rich and extremely scenic itinerary. It starts from the city center of Gorizia at 80 m above sea level and reaches the top of Mount Korada at 811 m of altitude. The first 16 km are almost flat and take advantage of the splendid dirt track (9 km) which runs parallel to the emerald waters of the Isonzo river and the historic Transalpina Railway.
From Plave you climb for 7 km and 25 hairpin bends to the refuge and to the top of Mount Korada on which the isolated church of Sveti Gemderca rests, in an almost mountain environment. During the approach to the summit and the subsequent beautiful descent in balance on the ridge we are accompanied by wide expanses of perfectly manicured meadows and spectacular views as far as the eye can see towards the Friulian plain, the Alpine amphitheater and the Slovenian highlands.
The last part of the itinerary runs through the long valley of the Birsa (Versa) in a typically hilly environment where the vine and orchard crops follow one another without interruption. Interesting, from a historical and geographical point of view, is the area around the former agricultural pass of Giasbana where the boundary stones separate the precious vineyards of the Slovenian Brda from those of the Italian Collio. And finally we cannot fail to remember the beauties of Gorizia; its squares, its castle, its churches, its palaces and parks frame the first and last kilometers of this fantastic itinerary.
