Monte Cocusso, Mountain summit in Trieste Karst, Italy

Monte Cocusso reaches an elevation of 672 meters and marks the boundary between Italy and Slovenia in the Trieste Karst mountain range.

The mountain contains remnants of an ancient burial site at Velika Groblja, dating back to the Bronze Age at 662 meters elevation.

Local inhabitants of Basovizza named the mountain Maček, meaning Cat, while others called it Ožeg following a significant fire in the area.

The T1 hiking trail leads to the summit, connecting with the Vertikala SPDT route that spans across 24 peaks in the surrounding region.

The mountain features experimental tree plantings from the 1800s, including Greek firs and spruce trees among the predominant black pine forests.
