Sabotin

According to the legend, when the Slavs arrived, they named the hill Samotin. The 609 meters high hill rises steeply above the Isonzo. The river separates it from the other hills of Trnovska planota, hence the name. A pilgrim church stood on Sabotin until 18th century and there was a mass there every Sunday. It was later replaced by a church on Holy Mountain.
During World War I, the Isonzo front passed the steeps of Sabotin. Even today, numerous caverns and remains of trenches stand as a reminder of one of the bloodiest military conflicts on Slovenian soil. It is possible to walk through the caverns, the safest way being with the guide. If you choose to venture alone, do not forget the lamp!
