Rank : 8.2 (average on 6 votes)

Coordinates : 45.599116,13.859296 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Despite being a mainly karst, is one of the richest areas of water in the province of Trieste and this leads to the presence of a population of reptiles and amphibians unique to regional and national level. On the territory of the Regional Natural Reserve of Val Rosandra have been reported so far over 130 species of birds, of which about 70 are nesting, and these values, especially in view of the limited size of the area, confirm the high natural value of the area. Mammals, although not particularly easy to contact, are numerous: roe deer, chamois, deer, hares, squirrels, dormice, foxes, hedgehogs, mustiolo, lynx, ermine and many other species . The high number of caves and holes in the valley characterize a high presence of bats, particularly rhinolophids, chosen as a symbol of the Natural Reserve of Val Rosandra.

Recommended equipment : Wide angle, telephoto, macro, stand, clothing walking or jogging if you prefer to walk the bike path that runs along the east side of the valley

Best months : Spring, summer, especially for the number of hours of light that can seep into the valley protected from the karst mountain and Mt Stena.

How to get there : And 'one of the goals typical of those coming to Trieste (and if it is not, it should be!). Arrived in Trieste, follow the signs for San Dorligo Valley. Park in the square where there are paid parking. Transit by car to the entrance of the valley is only available to riparian. Out of season you can also enter by car and park in the small square in front of the entrance to the valley. If necessary, you can park at the Refuge Premuda (mountain hut in the lower portion of Italy!).

Visits : The visit is, of course, free of charge. Walk along a walking trail along the river Rosandra. At some point you may choose to cross a bridge and follow the east bank of the river leading us to explore the many pools where you'll find many amphibians. At one point the path gets very challenging and in some places you have to go into the water. Who will continue undaunted will reach the base of the high waterfall Rosandra, in a scenario at least suggestive. And 'no doubt that the easiest route (and most popular) is the one from the west side of the river that will take you on the scree that dominates the entire valley. From there you can admire the waterfall from above, reach the church of Santa Maria in Siaris perched in a location very difficult to reach. Continuing along the path you will come to the remote village of Bottazzo, composed of a dozen houses and no (of which inhabited one!).

Notes : Val Rosandra is a famous school of rock at the international level. The area is full of caves and lookouts really striking. A visit to the summit of Mount Stena, accessible from San Lorenzo, continuing Draga S. Elia, on the right there is an open space with a bar. Park the car and walk. We arrive on the plateau of Mount Stena overlooking the Val Rosandra with a breathtaking view
