Border Trails – Exploring History on Foot

Border Trails – Exploring History on Foot

On our themed hikes in the Julian and Carnic Alps, we combine striking mountain scenery with traces of the First World War. We follow historical paths, discover former military positions and explore the stories these places tell.

Historical trails

Visit places that once formed part of the Alpine front.

Understanding history

Discover and put into context the traces and background of the First World War.

A mindful experience

Enjoy the silence and beauty of the mountains with respect for their past.

The Border Trails remind us of the marks left by war. In this remarkable landscape, they invite us to reflect on peace and reconciliation.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

– George Santayana
