From the city of Gemona del Friuli, start towards Artegna, a place characterized by medieval streets and the majestic Savorgnan Castle of Artegna. Continue through Magnano in Riviera and Borgo Urana, cycling immersed in the Friulian countryside. The route continues through Tarcento, then passing through Molinis, Loneriacco, Qualso, and Zompitta, where enchanting villages with an authentic atmosphere are revealed. Continue towards Savorgnano del Torre until reaching Povoletto, where the hills start to become gentler. The path passes through Grions del Torre and skirts Bottenicco, arriving at Cividale del Friuli, a city founded by Julius Caesar under the name Forum Iulii (from which the name Friuli derives) in 568 AD. Cividale became the seat of the first Lombard duchy in Italy and later, for several centuries, the residence of the Patriarchs of Aquileia.
Author’s recommendation
We recommend a stop both to visit the Savorgnan Castle of Artegna and a tour of the historic center of Cividale and the famous Devil's Bridge.
