The Walk of Peace Foundation (also called the Walk of Peace in the Soča Region Foundation) was established in 2002. Its main was to set up and manage the Walk of Peace project, which is basically a 230 kilometres long trail traversing the infamous WWI Isonzo front and the many the heritage sites along it. This is a joint venture of a number of municipalities and associations both from Slovenia as well as Italy, with the (Austrian) Carinthia and Tyrol regions to be also featured in the future.

Besides the path itself, the foundation also arranged a historical library, established a list of the fallen Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers in the Gorica and Karst regions, expanded the cross-border outdoor museum set on the Kolovrat moutain ridge and opened an information centre. The latter features a small multimedia exhibition and occasionally hosts various temporary exhibitions of a historical as well as artistic character.


The foundation is a member of the National Committee for the Commemoration of World War I Anniversaries, founded by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.

The Walk of Peace from the Alps to the Adriatic
