Named after poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke Trail stretches for about 1,700 m (5,500 ft) and gives access to a natural reserve. Almost flat for its entire length, the trail can be done easily by most visitors as a light walk. Along the way, you'll encounter white rocks and shrubs facing the sea, with spots from which you'll be able to see the entire gulf of Trieste. Although this is not a difficult walk for most, be sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring some drinking water and sun protection.

I loved hiking this trail. It is better to wear trekking shoes, with my sketchers I felt all the rocks I was walking on. The intense perfume of flowers was a wonderful addition. Be ready to take a lot of pretty pictures of the coast.

An easy 2km walk along beautiful landscape, view of the sea and plenty of pic moments. No access to a beach though, but a nice castle at the end and the public bus nr. 44 takes you back, if you don't want to walk 😉
