"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 passing the Upper Soča Valley, the Nova Gorica area, the adjacent Brda Hills, the Kras plateau and so on.
Some of the featured sites are the Kluže Fortress, the Kobarid Museum, the Kolovrat Outdoor Museum, the Vršič Chapel, the Bohinj Railway, the so called Kras Walks of Peace and a number of caves, fortifications, trenches and cemeteries.
The foundation coordinated a number of municipalities, cultural institutions and tourist associations both from Slovenia as well as Italy in order to expand, renovate and connect the sites. While the central part of the path was opened in 2007, its whole course was finalised in 2015. In the future, the foundation plans to also connect with other parts of the South-Western Front and expand to the (Austrian) Carinthia and Tyrol regions.
