Pohodne poti na Sabotinu

Sabotin, separated from Sveta Gora by the Soča River and thus a proud recluse, offers more to the hiker than the view from the valley would suggest. Sabotin offers a remarkable mix of natural and historical sights. At the top, you can visit the World War I cavern museum - the Peace Park - and enjoy the most beautiful views, from the Alps to the Soča Valley and all the way to the Adriatic.
