Svinjak with an excellent view in the spring of 1915, just before the Italian–Austro-Hungarian encounter.

Mount Brestovec
Mount Brestovec The gun tunnel of Mt. Brestovec was dug below the summit of this height between January and August 1917. Inside, eight 149mm guns were installed, pointed at the Comeno Karst, divided into four groups in order to obtain a broader shooting range. Today, this spectacular military installation has been cleaned and restored, so visitors can admire the structure and understand its use. Even more significant is the creation, inside the tunnel, of an imaginary narrative, combining the recounts of an Italian and an Austro-Hungarian soldier. The posts along the main tunnel include a number of metal panels showing the events that led to the construction of this tunnel and, more generally, the Great War on the Karst. The first station shows the movements of the frontlines between…
