In the town of Duino there are two interesting sights. At the top of the coastal cliff stands a picturesque castle of 15th century.

During the Second World War, a bunker was built in the castle. It is very solid, first we went down here

And then it turned out that this was not even half the depth of the bunker.

A 2-kilometer Rilke Trail passes along them. As you might guess from the name, it is named after the famous modernist poet Rainer Maria Rilke. In 1912, while he was in the castle, he began writing Duino Elegies, a series of 10 deeply philosophical and mystical poems, considered to be his greatest creation.

There are a number of viewing platforms on the trail constructed during the Second World War.

We spent the night right next to the castle and near the entrance to the trail, at the Hotel Al Pescatore (booking.com).
