PLANNED ITINERARY

Gorizia - GO! 2025 Path

LENGTH

2195 meters

The route develops between Italy and Slovenia and can be traveled at any time of the year.

The starting point of the route is located in Piazza della Vittoria in front of the Church of Sant'Ignazio (Photo 1).

The parking space reserved for people with disabilities is located on Via Roma, at number 2. From the parking space, it is possible to access the sidewalk via a short ramp from a driveway (Photo 2), and proceeding north on a sidewalk with uneven pavement (Photo 3) leads to a pedestrian crossing connected to the sidewalk by ramps with a slope of 12% (Photo 4). After crossing the roadway paved with porphyry cubes, the route continues on level stone pavement until reaching the starting point, Piazza della Vittoria. Alternatively, there is another reserved parking space along the route on Via Arcivescovado, which is better described later.

The starting point of the route is located in the pedestrian area of the square, on the side opposite the traffic road compared to the church of Sant'Ignazio. This can be reached via a pedestrian crossing on a road surface made of porphyry cubes, connected to the pedestrian paths on both sides of the road by short ramps with a steep gradient (17%).

The recommended route is the one that develops on the east side of the roadway, first in Piazza della Vittoria and then in Via Arcivescovado, as it has a lower amount of elevation changes, in addition to being wider, obstacle-free, and generally has a smooth surface, except for some slight unevenness (Photo 5), up to the height of the Chapel of the Exaltation of the Cross on Via Arcivescovado, near which is also the second parking space reserved for people with disabilities (Photo 6), which is also connected to the sidewalk by a short ramp serving a driveway located about twenty meters further south.

The path to the north of the Chapel is narrower, with a width still greater than 1.00 m, and has an asphalt surface with slight unevenness (Photo 7).

Starting from the intersection with via del seminario, a point where there is a pathway narrowing (85 cm) due to a signpost and a ramp of a vehicle access (Photo 8), the asphalt pavement shows greater unevenness (Photo 9), and at a pedestrian crossing, the connection to the roadway via ramps (Photo 10) presents a double slope that could be problematic (longitudinal 14% and transverse 6%).

At the height of via Malta, the crossing on via Carducci is used to move to the opposite side of the latter, and then continue on via Malta. The crossing, with a paving of porphyry cubes, è connected to the sidewalks on both sides by ramps. The one on the east side (Photo 11) has a double slope (longitudinal 10.5% and transverse 7.5%), while the one at the entrance of via Malta (Photo 12) è preceded by a step 4 cm high and has a slope of 13%.

The path continues on via Malta, where there is a restriction on the passage of vehicular traffic (ZTL), so it has a mixed circulation space without level differences and with paving in slabs of porphyry (Photo 13). From via Malta, one reaches largo Francesco Borgia Sedej and continues north until the end of via Graziadio Isaia Ascoli on a sidewalk made of smooth stone slabs, which has an adequate width, generally greater than 1.00 m, except for a short stretch where it reduces to 75 cm (Photo 14), while the junction of the path on largo Nicolò Pacassi occurs via a short ramp with a slope of 13% (Photo 15).

On Largo Nicolò Pacassi, the path continues eastward, first on a wide sidewalk made of concrete tiles with slight unevenness (Photo 16), and after crossing a short ramp with a slope of 9% (Photo 17), on a sidewalk made of stone slabs (Photo 18), which then continues to Piazza De Amicis until the pedestrian crossing located in the center of the square, featuring a pavement of porphyry cubes (Photo 19), in front of the entrance of Palazzo Attems-Petzenstein.

At this point, the opposite side of the street is reached, overcoming a small step (4 cm) between the sidewalk next to Palazzo Attems-Petzenstein and the crossing on the roadway. The sidewalk on the east side is also made of stone with slight unevenness, and there are some obstacles such as bollards, public lighting poles, waste bins, etc. (Photo 20), which have been arranged in such a way as not to create problematic constrictions on the path, which always has an adequate width.

The sidewalk is traveled northward and then turns right at the first intersection.

On via Gian Battista Formica, it is advisable to use the sidewalk on the south side, although the one on the opposite side is also passable, given the absence at the end of the street of a crossing that leads back to the south side. The path develops on a sidewalk made of stone slabs (Photo 21) with a slope between 6 and 7% until the intersection with via della Croce (about 50 m), after which the pavement of the sidewalk becomes made of porphyry slabs and the slope first reduces to 3% and then continues level.

Crossing via della Croce occurs on an area not marked as a pedestrian crossing with pavement made of porphyry cubes and lacking connections between the sidewalk and the roadway (Photo 22). In fact, there are two steps, the first located to the west of the road to be crossed, which has a height of 4 cm, while the one located to the east has a height of 15 cm.

At the height of number 14, for a short stretch, the width of the path is significantly reduced (63 cm) due to the presence of the ramp of a driveway (Photo 23), while just a little further on, one crosses a short connecting ramp with a slope of 8% (Photo 24) from which the sidewalk is again paved with stone slabs.

At the intersection with via del Santo, there is no signage for the pedestrian crossing (Photo 25), however, the roadway with asphalt pavement is still connected to the side sidewalks, to the west via a ramp (slope 10%), while to the east the sidewalk is at the same level as the road surface.

Crossing via del Santo, the path continues on a section of sidewalk with some minor unevenness and initially with concrete tiles (Photo 25) and then with porphyry slabs (Photo 26).

At the height of via della Cappella, one moves to the north side of via Formica via a pedestrian crossing on asphalt road (Photo 27). The sidewalk on the north side, with asphalt pavement, is accessible by overcoming a small step (3 cm).

Next, one faces the pedestrian crossing of via della Cappella, accessing the sidewalk on the opposite side via a short ramp with a slope of 13% (Photo 28), and proceeds east on the north sidewalk of via Formica, still with asphalt surface.

From the point where via Formica intersects with via del Rafut, the sidewalk begins to show very pronounced unevenness (Photo 29), and at the first three driveways, there is also a strong cross slope (Photo 30), around 11%.

The unevenness ends immediately after house number 12, where the asphalt pavement appears to be newly laid and is again smooth up to about house number 51, where there are other unevennesses but of minor extent (Photo 33).

Along this stretch of the route, via Antonio Tonzig and via dei Petrogalli are crossed. The crossing of the first is done by traversing short ramps with a slope of less than 10% (Photo 31), while in the second case, the slope of the ramps is 14-15% (Photo 32).

At the end of the sidewalk, near the state border, there is a connecting ramp with the roadway and the subsequent pedestrian and cycling path, with a slope of 12% (Photo 34).

At this point, the path merges into the mixed pedestrian and cycling path and enters Slovenian territory, where it continues north on the mixed path (Photo 35). At the tunnel, the path shifts to the sidewalk adjacent to the cycling path, made of concrete tiles with rather deep bumps (Photo 36). The connection between the mixed path and the sidewalk at the beginning and end of the tunnel is made via ramps with a very gentle slope. It is also noted that there is water in some points of the path inside the tunnel.

After passing the tunnel, the path returns to a mixed route until the intersection with Erjavčeva ulica, where the crossing occurs at the same level on pavement that is also asphalt (Photo 37).

Continuing north, you enter Kolodvorska pot, using a short ramp with an 11% slope (Photo 38), and continue on an asphalt sidewalk, which has a slight cross slope and occasional minor unevenness (Photo 39), until you reach the final destination in Trg Europe/piazzale della Transalpina, consisting of a square paved with stone slabs overlooking the Nova Gorica railway station (Photo 40).
