On the Pilgrims' routes - The ancient Via del Tagliamento
The Via del Tagliamento is part of the ancient Via d'Allemagna that connected the Baltic countries with the Adriatic ports and in particular with Venice, and from there by sea to the Holy Land, or on foot to Rome and Santiago de Compostela. About 35 kilometres, along the course of the Tagliamento River, walking in the footsteps of medieval paths, from Venzone to the ancient hospitale of San Giovanni di Gerusalemme to San Tomaso di Majano. Today, after about four centuries, pilgrims cross this territory again.
The paths of the Great War
In autumn 1917 Friuli Collinare was the scene of one of the most important battles of the First World War: the defence of Monte di Ragogna and the breakthrough of Cornino.
The fortifications of Monte di Ragogna, the Austrian bunkers, the Historical Museum, the paths immersed in nature are ideal for an unconventional excursion. The historical itineraries include four routes, of variable length and commitment and adequately marked, which touch the most significant points of the war chessboard.
Il tròi di Meni (Flagogna - Forgiaria nel Friuli)
Educational and hiking trail, "nature trail" that follows ancient paths used by the locals for agricultural activities. It develops for about 4 kilometres with an altitude difference of 187 metres crossing interesting areas from an environmental and landscape point of view. The path can be covered on foot or by mountain-bike and has equipped rest areas. Explanatory panels provide brief suggestions and indications on the surrounding environment.
The "tròi dal ors" (Monte Pràt - Forgaria nel Friuli)
Easily practicable path that crosses a suggestive beech forest.
The path makes use of an ancient road, bordered by the characteristic dry stone walls, once created by man to transfer the cattle to the mountain pastures.
Along the way, in the hottest hours of the day, the flight of griffins can be observed.
