JELENJE NA GROBNIČKOM POLJU - Claustra Alpium Iuliarum

© The National Museum of Slovenia, 2015 In Jelenje area, one can recognize the remains of the wall as a stone mound, up to 3 m wide and sometimes more than 1 m high. Some parts of the wall were being explored in the 1960s and they are still visible today. The wall followed the steep terrain and descended to the valleys, closing the easily crossable paths. It has characteristic square stones protruding from the inner side of the wall, positioned in the same sized intervals, which probably carried a wooden construction, used as a pathway for guards and observatory. Parts of the wall are interrupted by steep slopes – a natural obstacle, protecting from attacks of the enemies. The remains of the wall can be followed from the church of St. Michael the Archangel in Jelenje, where they are visible as a taller mound, overgrown by grass. The following part is visible north from Jelenje, from the location Kaštelin on. The course of the wall can be followed all the way to the quarry, which is the reason for partial destruction of the remains, but they can be seen again on the slopes of the following hills. At locations of Čelo, Rebar and Kuk we can still see the remains of towers, built as a part of the walls. Hiking next to the walls is difficult because of dense bushes the walls are winding through and due to unmaintained walkways. Major natural obstacle – steep abysses - appears near the end of this part, at the location named Kuba. If you wish to visit the next part at location Skalna, you must climb over the mentioned slope, which is recommended only for experienced and well prepared hikers.
