October in the morning with wine and food tasting.*

There are 20 seats available for ICTP on a private bus. Return

The Val Rosandra Valley encloses a remarkable natural environment which 
reveals its true beauty in autumn. It is situated half an hour by bus 
from the city centre.

 

The tour will start from San Lorenzo, a village overlooking the Valley 
from which one can admire the panorama and the Gulf of Trieste and will 
proceed to Monte Stenna (one of the highest peaks of the area 441m above 
sea level) along the old rail station that once connected Trieste to 
Vienna in the past centuries, now converted into a cycling path.

You will be accompanied by a specialized guide who will illustrate the 
naturalistic aspects of the area, its geomorphology, its numerous 
caverns and caves, the Rosandra stream, the Roman aqueduct and the 
general history of the area. There will be a stop for refreshents in a 
local farm with wine and food tasting.

 

The tour is organized by a local travel agency "Pansepol" in 
collaboration with the Province of Trieste and is open to anybody who 
wishes to participate. Please wear comfortable clothes and a good pair 
of sneakers and take a small  bottle of water.

 

*Advance booking is necessary at the Info Point as there are limited 
numbers of places available. It would be highly appreciated that, once 
committed, you  show up on the day of the tour as the travel agency has 
reserved an English-speaking guide especially for our scientists. Any 
delay or last minute cancellation could cause several inconveniences to 
the organizers and embarassment for the Centre as the seats reserved for 
ICTP are not available to other tourists.*
