Riserva naturale delle Falesie di Duino

The reserve features limestone cliffs rising 100 meters above the Adriatic Sea, forming a natural barrier along the coastline of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Established in 1996, this protected area spans 107 hectares, including 63 hectares of marine territory, preserving the natural heritage of the region.

The reserve contains the Rilke Path, named after the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, connecting the castles of Duino through a scenic coastal trail.

Visitors can access multiple observation points and hiking trails throughout the reserve, with guided tours available from April through October.

The white cliffs contain fossiliferous limestone formations from the Cretaceous period, providing geological records of ancient marine environments.
