and by the stream and natural ponds, surrounded by typical carsic 
vegetation is worth it. Make sure you have good sneakers on and enough 
water. Walk along colour-marked footpaths, each marked by CAI (Italian 
Alpine Club), ranging from very easy paths to others that require 
certain ability. There are easily accessible caves for speleologists and 
archaeology lovers. You can reach the Valley by taking Bus 40 from the 
Central Train Station in Trieste and getting off in Bagnoli della Rosandra.

walking or jogging on the Napoleonica (Napoleon's path). If you wish, 
you can take path number 12 (marked by C.A.I - Italian Alpine Club) and 
reach the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa, proceed to Opicina through the Via 
Crucis path (number 12) and finally return to the Obelisk and take the 
bus back to the city.

*MISCELLANEA*

periods of the year and serve home-made hams, salamis, cheeses, boiled
