Nature itineraries and routes
The territory of the Val Rosandra-Dolina Glinščice Regional Nature Reserve is situated in the southeastern side of the Italian karst region, in the municipality of San Dorligo della Valle-Občina Dolina, which since 2006 has become the managing body of the protected area.
A typical feature is the presence of the stream Rosandra- Glinščica, the only one superficial water course in the Karst region, which flows in a deep crack that separates Mount Stena from Mount Carso. The two slopes of the valley have different climate situations due to the presence of the Bora and to the different exposition, which creates the best conditions for a rich biodiversity to develop.
Noteworthy are also the still visible signs of human presence, such as the "castelliere" on Mount Carso, the Roman aqueduct from the 1st century A.D. or the S. Maria in Siaris medieval church.
The Val Rosandra-Dolina Glinščice offers the opportunity to walkthrough many itineraries that allow visitors to enjoy different landscapes and views. The publications available at the Visitor Center will give you all the detailed information regarding the routes.
