Stage 2
A ride through ancient crafts and traditions, a journey through time among rural villages accompanying the cyclist to Gemona del Friuli.
The route starts in Maniago, a town known for knife production, told at the Museum of Blade Art and Cutlery opened in the first local factory. You pedal towards Fanna where the Madonna da Strada is located, one of the oldest Marian sanctuaries in Friuli, and reach Cavasso Nuovo, home of the red onion recognized as a DOP product. Here, before continuing towards the mountain villages, a visit to the sixteenth-century Palazzat hosting the Emigration Museum is worthwhile. Beyond Meduno, gateway to the Meduna Valley and Tramontina, proceed to Toppo which with its houses and gardens is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Pedaling through Travesio, Valeriano, and Pinzano you encounter several small churches of great artistic value. Then you follow the Tagliamento river: along the route of great interest is the Cornino Lake Natural Reserve. After passing Trasaghis, one of the municipalities to which Lake Cavazzo belongs, you arrive in Gemona via the Braulinis bridge.
