Il Carso triestino e la costa friulana

Year: 2008 Format: 11x16 Pages: 158 Photos: col The territory covered in this guide preserves areas of extraordinary naturalistic interest, characterized by various and differentiated landscapes and environments: from the rocky coasts of the Trieste coast, over which the fascinating karst plateau looms, we move on to the low and sandy coasts, interrupted by the mouth of the Isonzo and the bodies of water in the lagoons, where the Friulian plain overlooks the sea. 25 itineraries are proposed here to be covered on foot, by bicycle, but also by canoe and boat, in some cases within protected and equipped areas, but above all in natural environments with free access. The author, who frequents and knows these areas in depth, suggests to us with care and passion where to focus our gaze and our interest, now on a rare species of plants or birds, now on a karst phenomenon or a particularly evocative scenario . The volume is illustrated with color photos and maps, and is enriched with detailed technical information and concise scientific descriptions, which constitute indispensable information to fully enjoy the beauty and richness of these places.
