Hello,
I am thrilled by your helpful homepage and have immediately decided to hike this beautiful trail around Easter! Unfortunately, I have only 4 days - is there a good way to "shorten" the round hike to 4 days?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Anna-Maria
Hello Anna-Maria,
yes, a "shortening" is possible without any problems. Probably, in your place I would skip stage 4 and modify stage 5 with a bus ride accordingly. Say: Bus ride from Opicina to Basovizza and from Basovizza on your own in the direction of Pesek (waypoint 4 of stage 5) hike. From there you can do the second part of stage 5. Information about bus connections can be found here: https://www.rundwanderweg-triest.de/oeffentlicher-nahverkehr-in-der-region-triest/
Many greetings
Frank
Hello Frank!
We would like to thank you very much for the guidance, all very helpful information about accommodation and bus connections! From 28.03. to 04.04. we have undertaken this tour, have traveled by train. Has worked well despite tight transfer times . We had planned one day more, originally for the city of Trieste.......
On stage day 3 and 4 the weather has not meant it so well with us and have therefore divided the 4th day in two stages and have spent the night in Basovizza in the hotel Center- zur Linde. We were able to enjoy the spectacular last stretch in glorious sunshine and good visibility. We are also thrilled by the Italian hospitality !!! Pre-booked we had only the first night in Trieste, so we were flexible with weather and condition :-)
Without your help we would not have made this hike a reality and would have gotten lost endlessly without navigation help...:-)
So thanks again!
Harry and Ute
Hello Harry and Ute!
I am very pleased! Thank you for the lovely feedback!
Frank
Hello Frank,
thank you so much for this wonderful site!!!
We will "only" have about 2.5 days to hike (with car available). Which of the stages would you recommend the most in terms of views and diversity? Do I understand correctly that you do not recommend the entire 4th stage and the first part of the 5th stage?
I would be very happy about a feedback!
Hello Maren,
very much! For us, stage 1 and the second part of stage 5 were the highlights. If you are traveling by car, you will probably not do a real long-distance hike but rather stay overnight in one place, right? Then I would stay overnight in Trieste or Opicina and hike stage 1 and stage 3 from there (each in combination with a bus ride). Stage 3 can also be modified into a circular hike, e.g. from Grotta Gigante via Prosecco back to Sgonico. The same applies to stage 5: Park your car in Pesek, from San Lorenzo (waypoint 7) back to Pesek (approx. 6 km and 250 meters altitude difference).
Many greetings
Frank
Hey Frank,
have returned yesterday from the round trip described by you. Have us to 90 % oriented to your route
For us, however, the start of the first stage was the train station in Trieste, which has extended the first stage to just under 26.Also we have waived the sixth stage to Muggia not to spoil the beautiful impression.Were nevertheless in Muggia and have considered this place worth seeing.After a day's stay we have taken the ferry back to Trieste.
Your description and the elaboration of the 5 days round trip is really great and very detailed.have us guided by the downland GPS data, which is also recommended due to the wild growth.
Yours sincerely Michael
Hello Michael,
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm very glad that you liked it! And yes - stage 6 is actually only worth it because of Muggia. You have solved well!
Many greetings
Frank
