Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
Il Giardino botanico Carsiana si colloca all'interno di una dolina nel Comune di Sgonico, a 18 km dalla città di Trieste. Il giardino è stato ideato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, conservare ed illustrare la flora e la vegetazione spontanee del Carso. Circa 600 sono le specie floristiche raccolte nei 5000 mq dedicati a giardino botanico. Carsiana vuole essere quindi una “sintesi del paesaggio carsico” che consegna al visitatore un quadro esaustivo dei principali aspetti ecologici del territorio. L'esposizione è completata da alcune aiuole dedicate alle piante officinali ed eduli.

About a 30 minute drive from Trieste is the Grotta Gigante. This is a truly unique, amazing, massive cave that photos don’t do justice to. Be aware that there are 500 steps down and then up. If one is fit, this is not a problem as the guides stop periodically going down and try not to hurry you going back up. If you have some issues with your feet, knees, or shortness of breath, etc. then it might be better to take a trip instead to Postojna Cave in Slovenia which has a train to take visitors around. In terms of impressive size, Grotta Gigante is well worth the visit if you can do the steps. From entrance into the cave to exit, the whole visit lasts just a little over an hour.
