Kras, znan po svojih edinstvenih geoloških pojavih (jame, vrtače, uvale, ipd.), v sebi skriva tudi “bogato” zapuščino 1. svetovne vojne. Med hojo jo lahko opazite v obliki bojnih jarkov, umetno izkopanih rovov (kaverne), bunkerjev, ostankov barakarskih naselij, ipd. Domačini se na tem območju (še vedno) vsakodnevno srečujejo z ostanki eksplodiranih in neeksplodiranih ubojnih sredstev ter drugih predmetov uporabljenih med kruto vojno, ki je na tem območju divjala kar dolga tri leta (1915-1918). Misel na vojno domačine spremlja na vsakem koraku.
Serija zakladkov med seboj povezuje dve z vojno povezani lokaciji, znani le domačinom...
O KAVERNI IN VOJŠČICI
Zaklad se nahaja v večji kaverni (znani le domačinom) najvišje ležeče točke na Vojščici. Pred kratkim so domačini odkopali in očistili zasut “bunkerski” vhod, saj so želeli v njej postaviti razstavo o zgodovini in razvoju vojščice.
Vojščica se nahaja občini Miren-Kostanjevica in šteje 230 prebivalcev. Vas je bila med 1. svetovno vojno porušena med 2. pa požgana. Od nekdanje srednjeveške utrdbe na najvišje ležeči točki (Tabor), pa je ostal le še del prezbiterija nekdanje cerkve Sv. Justina. Na Vojščici najdete staro vaško šolo (danes sedež KS Vojščice in ŠKT društva Farjovca), cerkvo Sv. Vida, prireditveni prostor Kal, kjer so organizirani koncerti znanih glasbenih skupin, športno dolino z igriščem za odbojko na mivki, nogometnim igriščem in fitnesom ter številne vinogradnike, turistične in druge kmetije Več informacij na: https://www.mirenkras.si/

VOJNA NA KRASU
Maja 1915 se je z italjanskim napadom na Avsto-Ogrsko oblikovala 90 kilometrska bojna črta, ki je potekala po gorskih vrhovih in grebenih od Rombona proti Jadranskemu morju ob reki Soči. Del bojne linije je potekal tudi v neposredni bližini Vojščice. Italijanska vojska je v 11 ofenzivah, ki so trajale kar 28 mesecev, skušala prebiti nasprotnikovo obrambo, a razen skromnih vojaških uspehov za ceno velikanskih človeških žrtev, pri tem ni bila uspešna. Položaji so se v 11 italijanskih ofenzivah kljub velikemu številu mrtvih le malo spreminjali. Najbolj krvavi boji z največ žrtvami so bili na južnem delu soškega bojišča na Krasu, kjer je bila glavna smer napadalčevega pritiska v želji, da bi zasedel Trst in Gorico, se prebil prek Postojnskih vrat v notranjost monarhije in jo izločil iz vojne. Bojevanje je potekalo v težkih visokogorskih in kraških področjih, kjer je primanjkovalo vode. Italijanska vojska je bila številčnejša, a so se Avstro-Ogrski vojaki bojevali z veliko večjo željo, srčnostjo in željo po ubranitvi svojega ozemlja.

O KAVERNAH
Kaverna je umetno izkopan oz. miniran podzemni rov ali sklop rovov za zaščito pred artilerijskim, pohotnim ali letalskim napadom, ki služi kot pomožno zaklonišče. Kaverne so služile tudi kot skladišče za orožje.
Obrambni položaji so bili posebej v začetku spopadov zelo slabo utrjeni in so jih morali vojaki šele zgraditi. Pred vstopom Kraljevine Italije v vojno, avstro-ogrsko vodstvo, bivše zaveznice ni želelo izzivati z večjimi utrjevalnimi deli ob meji, da je ne bi prehitro pahnili v nasprotnikov objem. Zato so prve enote ob prihodu na bojišče imele zelo slabe zaklone, ki so jih večinoma morale šele zgraditi. Večino časa so tako vojaki na bojišču kopali strelske in povezovane jarke, kaverne in utrjevali kamnite zaslone. Tako je bilo ves čas vojne. Intenzivnejše življenje je večinoma potekalo ponoči. V kraški poletni vročini pod stalnim opazovanjem nasprotnika so vojaki podnevi mirovali, posebej na izpostavljenih položajih, da niso vzbudili pozornosti nasprotnika.

ENG:
The Karst, known for its unique geological phenomena (caves, sinkholes, uvalas, etc.), also harbors a "rich" legacy of the First World War. While walking, you can see it in the form of battle trenches, artificially dug tunnels (caverns), bunkers, the remains of shanty settlements, etc. Locals in this area (still) encounter the remains of exploded and unexploded ordnance and other objects used during the cruel war that raged in this area for three long years (1915-1918). The thought of the war is with the locals at every turn.
A series of caches links two war-related sites, known only to the locals...
ABOUT THE CAVERN AND VILLAGE VOJŠČICA
The treasure is hidden within a large cavern, which is known only to the local residents, situated at the highest point of village Vojščice. Recently, the locals excavated and cleaned the entrance to the “bunker”. Their intention was to create an exhibition inside the cavern, showcasing the history and development of Vojščica.
Vojščice is a village located within the municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica and is home to approximately 230 inhabitants. The village has endured significant destruction, both during World War I and World War II. Only a fragment of the former medieval fortress, situated at the highest point known as Tabor, remains in the form of the presbytery of the former medieval church of St. Justin.
Within Vojščice, notable landmarks include the old village school, which now serves as the headquarters for the local community association and the Farjovca association. The village is also home to the church of St. Vid, the Kal event space where concerts featuring renowned musical groups are organized, a sports valley featuring amenities such as a beach volleyball court, a football pitch, and a fitness center. Additionally, there are numerous wine-growing, tourist, and other farms within the area.

WAR IN KARST
In May 1915, the Italian army launched an attack on Austria-Hungary, establishing a 90-kilometer battle line along the mountain peaks and ridges from Rombon to the Adriatic Sea, following the course of the Soča River. Vojščice was also located in close proximity to this battle line. Over a period of 28 months, the Italian army carried out 11 offensives in an attempt to break through the enemy's defenses. Despite the significant loss of life and some limited military successes, the Italians were unable to achieve their objective. The situation on the battlefield remained largely unchanged throughout these offensives.
The most intense and deadly fighting took place in the southern part of the Soča battlefield, specifically in the Karst region. The primary objective of the Italian forces was to capture Trieste and Gorizia, and then penetrate the Postojna Gates to reach the interior of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and force it out of the war. The fighting in this region was particularly challenging due to its rugged terrain, consisting of high mountains and karst landscapes, with limited water sources. Despite the larger size of the Italian army, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers fought with a stronger determination, passion, and a steadfast will to defend their territory.

ABOUT THE CAVERNS
A cavern refers to an underground tunnel or network of tunnels that are artificially dug or mined for protection against artillery, rash, or air attacks. These caverns serve as auxiliary shelters and were also utilized as weapons depots.
During the initial stages of the conflict, defensive positions were inadequately fortified and had yet to be constructed by the soldiers. Prior to the Kingdom of Italy's entry into the war, the Austro-Hungarian leadership chose not to create significant fortifications along the border, as it did not want to immediately involve its former ally in the conflict. Consequently, when the first troops arrived on the battlefield, they faced weak defenses, with most structures yet to be built. Consequently, throughout the entire war, soldiers primarily engaged in digging rifle and trench trenches, constructing caverns, and fortifying stone screens. This became the norm on the battlefield.
In the sweltering summer heat of the Karst region, under constant enemy observation, soldiers remained stationary during the day, particularly in exposed positions, to avoid drawing attention from the enemy. Their activities were mostly carried out during the night.
