San Simeone Plateau from Bordano

Monte San Simeone stands imposing over the basin of Lake Cavazzo and the village of Bordano. Although the summit does not offer breathtaking views due to installed radio antennas and vegetation cover, the mountain's plateau offers an extraordinary view. From this privileged point, eyes can wander among the pre-Alpine mountains, surrounding hills, and the Friulian plain, creating a natural terrace from which to admire the landscape. This location is especially appreciated by skydivers, who consider it one of the best places to practice flying in Friuli. From a naturalistic point of view, the terrain is characterized by Jurassic limestone rocks, witnesses to about 200 million years of geological history. The hiker can immerse themselves in woods rich with hornbeams, ashes, wild service trees, and hazels. Moreover, it is not uncommon to observe the majestic griffon vultures from the nearby Cornino lake soaring in the sky, enriching the experience with their majestic presence.
