Still immersed in a green and hilly countryside, this not particularly demanding stretch unfolds in the heart of eastern Friuli, mostly following the same path as the Alpe Adria Trail, which is easily identifiable. Slowly heading south and penetrating deeper into these areas, it offers panoramic views and charming landscapes where once again the signs of the First World War blend as one with the territory. This fusion of tradition, history, and culture culminates with the arrival at Castelmonte, known mostly for its important Marian sanctuary, a pilgrimage destination and one of the most famous sanctuaries in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
