    After passing through the town centre, the Rogge cycle path begins at Molin Nuovo, which allows cyclists to travel up to Zompitta, where the water intake station is located. It is a pleasant route through fields, meadows, vineyards, rural hamlets, and old mills. Although it is seldom signposted, it is easy to follow because it is popular with cyclists in all seasons. The return route is along the roads with limited traffic on the other side of the Torre stream and following the cycle track of the plains (FVG 4) between Povoletto and Udine.

    In order to supply Udine with abundant water for agriculture, mills, washing, and drinking and also to defend the city walls, an initial barrage of the Torre stream was created in the Middle Ages and two canals (Roggia di Palma and Roggia di Udine) were excavated to channel water to the capital of Friuli and the surrounding plain. Over the centuries, these irrigation waterways became essential for Udine's economy and population and were progressively expanded and regulated. They are now an intrinsic part of the urban planning of the city as well as of the landscape of the countryside to the north of Udine.
