Sunday 20 October, 09:00 - 13:00

Meeting point: 9:00 a.m. at the car park of the sports field in Tribil Superiore (33040 Stregna).

Historian Nico Sinuello will accompany us to discover the foothills of Mount Hum, an important stronghold of the Italian army during the First World War.

The events of the First World War, which took place on Mount Hum, will be recounted. You will be taken on a tour of discovery of the military roads and mule tracks, entrenchments, tunnels and artillery emplacements created by Italian soldiers and also by civilian workers employed by the army. In an unspoilt landscape typical of the Julian Pre-Alps, we will then delve into a fascinating and little-known history by tracing the paths on foot and seeing the positions of the soldiers who lived there for more than three years.

Mount Hum is home to a nature observatory and is also a privileged place to enjoy extraordinary views of the Natisone Valleys, Matajur and the Kolovrat chain.

This will be followed by lunch with typical dishes from the Natisone Valleys, at the Burnjak feast, with the following menu: Orzotto with vegetables, lovage and Frant cheese from the Dairy of Cividale Sausage from the Snidaro farm and capers with apples Chestnuts from the Natisone Valleys 1 glass of wine, 1/2 litre water.
