The proposed itinerary unfolds on the mountains immediately behind the village of Povici and allows to observe some of the most striking landscapes of the Julian Pre-Alps Natural Park.
Point of interest of the route is Borgo Cros, a small handful of houses inhabited until the 1970s, when the 1976 earthquake forced its abandonment. Today it is still well preserved in its original architecture thanks to renovation works and in the peculiarities of the landscape dominated by the large grassland areas.
The unusual views of the surrounding mountains, the striking glimpses of the streams, the shapes that the water carves on the rocks, and the high biodiversity of the area will also satisfy those in search of Nature.
Author’s recommendation
If you travel the route in the summer, it is impossible not to stop for a swim in the cool, clear waters of the Resia and Serai streams.
