Fajtji hrib

Fajtji hrib is a mountain summit near Kostanjevica na Krasu with an elevation of 434 meters that rises as a distinctive limestone formation. Natural caves and rocky outcrops mark its slopes and give the terrain its characteristic appearance.

During World War I, the summit became a strategic military position where Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces clashed intensely in 1916. Extensive trench systems and fortifications were constructed to control the terrain.

The mountain preserves numerous military artifacts and structures that document the intense battles between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces in 1916.

Visitors reach the summit via marked hiking paths that depart from a parking area near Cerje, with the climb taking roughly one hour. The trails are well-marked, making navigation straightforward without specialist equipment.

An extensive network of underground tunnels and galleries runs beneath the mountain, carved out during wartime operations in the early 20th century. These subterranean structures show the scale of engineering effort undertaken under difficult conditions.
