On Sunday, 19 January 2025, a hike will take place along the karst edge in the village Križ - Santa Croce, located in the area of the emerging Kras-Carso Geopark. First, we will climb to the top of Babica and then visit the Liburnia Tower, built in the 19th century to raise the water of the Timava from the coast to the plateau. From there, we will return to Križ - Santa Croce along the Sage trail and, from the top, admire the geological landmarks, from the Duino's Cliffs, coastal crags, to the Miramare promontory. The final stop will be in the village, where we will enjoy the view of the bay at sunset from the lookout point, which in winter astounds us with its beautiful colours.
