Easy circular walk on Monte di Ragogna with splendid views of the Tagliamento
Monte di Ragogna, a modest elevation northwest of San Daniele, has a remarkable historical importance despite its altitude of only 512 meters. This moraine hill forces the Tagliamento river to form a significant bend before continuing towards the plain and the Adriatic Sea, and it witnessed military events during the First World War. The commemoration of these events led to the establishment of the Great War Museum in Ragogna, accompanied by a historical path connecting the most significant points from San Pietro to Muris.
Along this route, you can explore numerous historical remains, such as the permanent Battery "Ragogna Bassa," the bunkers with soldiers' writings, and the Battery "Ragogna Alta" located at 482 meters above sea level, next to the armored powder magazines and the Cavallino Fort. Continuing, you can observe the second-line trenches and reach the strongholds of Cret dal Louf and Spice, thus enriching the visit with important testimonies of military history. In this context, Monte di Ragogna is not just a hill to explore but a place inviting reflection on memory and the sacrifice of those who fought there.
