The Val Rosandra is an evocative corner of the Kras Plateau above Trieste. It is just 20 minutes away from the city center going towards Muggia, and is the destination of tourists, spelunkers, and mountainclimbers, every weekend. It is located in the San Dorligo della Valle administrative area and is a real natural paradise with a spectacular landscape of cliffs, piles of rocks, and rocky walls overhanging the torrent which crosses through the valley. The wild and rough aspect of some sites in the valley have given rise to numerous local legends about the mysterious princess Rosandra, or even, Charlemagne. The locals say that a walk in this valley frees your mind and reinforces the body. Who knows? What is certain is that it is a place full of charm. Walking along the left-hand bank of the river you will come across the remains of a Roman aqueduct, probably built in the 1st Century CE and in use until the 6th Century. The aqueduct collected the waters that flowed out from the Fonte Oppia, at the bottom of a rocky crag in the center of the valley known as the Crinale. The waters (5,800 m3 per day) reached Trieste after traveling along a seventeen kilometer route. Further along the valley you will come to an area which is used by rock climbers, while - after coming to a fork in the path and taking the uphill branch - you will come to the Chiesetta di Santa Maria in Siaris, mentioned in 14th-Century documents. Nearby there is one of the few borders which you cross on foot in the world (naturally with Slovenia). There are all sorts of things to discover in the valley. You could spend a whole day walking here, perhaps stopping for a picnic by the river or eating at the Mario Premuda refuge.
