"Around The Paths of Peace: In Search of Traces of War 1915-118" is an event about connections between trenches still visible in the territory between Switzerland and Adriatic Sea. The debate with historians from Austria and Hungary and a representative of Italy will include two Slovenian speakers, Maša Klavora from Walk of Peace in the Soča Region Foundation, and Martin Šolar from Kobarid Museum. Austrian historian Peter Schubert, PhD, will also be presenting two of his books. Organised in collaboration with Collegium Hungaricum, Kral Verlag, Walk of Peace in the Soča Region Foundation, Kobarid Museum, Verein Dolomitenfreunde – Friedenswege Österreich and Promo Turismo FVG Cervignano del Friuli.
The Walk of Peace from the Alps to the Adriatic
The Isonzo Front was the site of 12 major battles between Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces in World War I. Roughly following its non-linear course, the Walk of Peace starts in the village Log pod Mangartom and finishes in Trieste (IT), on its way connecting the Upper Soča Valley, the Nova Gorica area, the adjacent Brda Hills, the Kras plateau and some other areas in the region.
Some of the featured sites are the Kluže Fortress, the Kobarid Museum, the Kolovrat Outdoor Museum, the so called Kras Walks of Peace, the Cerje Monument, the Vršič Chapel, the Bohinj Railwayand a number of caves, fortifications, trenches and cemeteries.
While the central part of the path was opened in 2007, its whole course was finalised in 2015. In the future, it plans to expand to other parts of the South-Western Front and expand to the (Austrian) Carinthia and Tyrol regions.
