Brestovec historic route

The starting point is set near the parking lot of the Sports Center of San Michele del Carso, in the hamlet of Còtici Inferiore. After getting off your vehicle, continue slightly downhill along Via Devetaki until the intersection, where turn left and continue until you find the first road on the right which, after a few meters, becomes a dirt path. At the last houses, turn left, always following the signs indicating Brestovec. After walking for about half an hour, on your left you reach the Italian trench line, the first stop of the route. Following its path along the northeast ridge, it is possible, after passing a Cold War-era observation post, to take the path that in a few minutes leads to the Monte Brestovec Cannoniera, undoubtedly the most interesting point of the entire route. At the exit, a small clearing on the left offers a spectacular panorama to the southeast, over the karst plateau, while on the right is the CAI 74 path which, in just over half an hour, returns to Còtici Inferiore.
