Gradnik study trail

A study trail dedicated to Alojz Gradnik, a poet from Brda whose poetry is filled with his reflections on Brda and love. The trail also presents trees typical for Brda.

The Gradnik Trail, which found its place within the Brda municipality project Cherry Blossom Trails, leads its visitor among the vineyards and into the heart of the village of Medana. Like other Cherry Blossom trails it is marked by brown signposts, yellow and white circles and yellow arrows on flat surfaces.

The poet's verses, which invite you towards an invisible ladder, accompany you on the trail. The ladder, however, leads you to the poet's brithplace, where you can take a rest while looking at the poet's legacy and reading his poetry.

The natural history part of the trail offers the visitor some knowledge about Brda's typical trees. The vantage point is a special experience as it offers a marvellous view over 24 belfries which adorn Brda's and faraway hills.

On this trail, we can experience Brda's people attitude towards nature and soil. After all, hikers who set out on the Gradnik Trail want to strengthen their body and soul in the great outdoors.
