Stage 2
The Alpe Adria FVG 1 cycle path between Venzone and Udine follows a partly hilly route, very pleasant and rich in scenic and panoramic spots.
The route of the Alpe Adria FVG 1 cycle path between Venzone and Udine offers a cycling journey through enchanting hilly landscapes. From Venzone, an ancient town that was razed by the 1976 earthquake and rebuilt as it was in the Middle Ages, the route heads south, reaching Gemona del Friuli, a picturesque medieval town with its castle, historic palaces, churches, and museums. From Gemona, you can follow the course of the Tagliamento river passing through Osoppo with its fortified hill, or descending to Buia, exploring the moraine hills with their medieval castles.
Arriving at Tavagnacco, you enter the Friulian high plain and take the cycle paths that lead to the Cormor stream park, located at the gates of Udine. Through the urban cycle paths, you reach the center of Udine, the capital of Friuli, rich in attractions such as historic palaces, churches, museums, and gardens with monumental trees.
If you want to change the route, Gemona is a crossroads of cycle paths, connecting the Alpe Adria cycle path and the Tagliamento river cycle path from north to south, and the Pedemontana cycle path from east to west, embracing the renowned wine regions of the Colli Orientali, Collio, and Friuli Grave.
