We continue the Kolovrat range where structures of the third Italian line of defense are densely tossed on both sides of the state border. A special approach to the restoration of these positions was the use of original building materials (wire nets for fortifying slopes, corrugated sheets, slates, etc.) from the time of the First World War.

After this introduction to WW1, we continue toward Slovenian wine region, Brda, where our guide will be waiting with bikes to ride through the Brda region, known as the Slovenian Tuscany and wine region. We’ll pedal from village to village experiencing the natural and cultural heritage of this region that had a turbulent past, but has an interesting present.

Brda is a land of castles, vineyards and small white churches, often situated on the top of the hills overlooking the villages. We’ll stop for a wine tasting at a local vineyard.

Overnight at Hotel Gredič [B/L/D]

In the morning we will depart for the Slovenian coast where we’ll walk the old Mediterranean harbor town of Piran. The entire town is one big museum with well preserved medieval structures, fascinating architecture, and a rich cultural heritage. The narrow streets and closely built old houses add to the town’s special charm.

Situated at its very center, the famous Tartini Square is a tribute to the prominent Piran-‐violin player and composer Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1777).  The Square also boasts a monument in the musician’s honor. Another treat for the eyes is the “Venetian” – a luxurious building from the middle of the 15th century that is considered one of the most beautiful examples of Venetian gothic architecture in Slovenia. Strolling along the narrow streets typical of Istrian coastal towns, we will climb the hill overlooking Piran to reach the Church of St George.
