点评:We biked up here to climb this 144-stair, 23-meter tower to look over Šmartno where we will have dinner and stay the night. It was a very nice introduction to both this Medieval fortified village and its surrounding landscape. Giving us a well-rounded perspective.
It is said that, in nice weather, it offers wonderful views of Goriska brda, Furlanija, Carnian and Julian Alps, Trnovo forest, Dolomite, Karst, Trieste bay and Vipava Valley. The view didn’t extend quite that far the day we were there but it was still awe-inspiring.
Built in 1961, the Gonjace lookout tower is also a memorial dedicated to the victims of World War II. Below the tower is a bronze sculpture devoted to the 315 citizens of Brda who gave their lives in WWII. The lines engraved on the bronze plaque ‘To the sons of Brda and Benečija, the faithful guardians of our language’ were written by the writer France Bevk.
The steps are fairly wide, so it is quite easy to climb, but can be a little intimidating if suffering from vertigo or if very windy. I personally hugged the center of the circular stairway (it was windy) in order to make it to the top where there is a 360 degree view and an orientation table listing the towns and mountain peaks you see all around.
Worth a stop but not a long detour to get here.
翻译:我们骑自行车来到这里,爬上这座 144 级、23 米高的塔楼,俯瞰斯马特诺 (Šmartno),我们将在那里享用晚餐并过夜。这是对这个中世纪防御村庄及其周围景观的很好的介绍。给我们一个全面的视角。
据说,天气好的时候,可以看到Goriska brda、Furlanija、卡尼安和朱利安阿尔卑斯山、特尔诺沃森林、白云石、喀斯特、的里雅斯特湾和维帕瓦山谷的美景。我们在那里的那天,景色并没有那么远,但仍然令人惊叹。
贡贾斯了望塔建于 1961 年,也是一座纪念二战受害者的纪念碑。塔下有一座青铜雕塑,纪念在二战中献出生命的 315 名布尔达公民。青铜牌匾上刻着的文字是作家弗朗斯·贝克 (France Bevk) 写的:“献给布尔达和贝内奇亚的儿子们,我们语言的忠实守护者”。
台阶相当宽,所以很容易爬上去,但如果感到眩晕或风很大,可能会有点吓人。我亲自拥抱了圆形楼梯的中心(风很大),以便到达顶部,那里有 360 度的视野和一个方位表,列出了您周围看到的城镇和山峰。
值得停下来,但不需要绕很远的路才能到达这里。
