Sabotin
This 609-metre hill marks the entrance to the Soča Valley, with the border between Slovenia and Italy running along its ridge. It takes its name from the Church of St Valentine, which once stood on the eastern peak. The hill is best known for the large “Tito” inscription, visible above the town by day, and for the former Italian barracks illuminated at night in the colours of the Italian flag.
The former Yugoslav barracks house a small Soča Front museum (Šmaver 2), which offers guided tours of caves located above the Soča River. The Italian army used these caves during the war. visitsabotin.si
