    The ascent to Mount Cuar provides views that span the entire region; in fact, it is one of the last peaks of the Carnic Pre-Alps chain before the Friulian plain. From the very scenic summit one can admire the peaks of the Friulian Dolomites to the west, the Verzegnis and Carnic ranges to the north and then turn one's gaze eastward as one encounters the Julian Alps and the Pre-Alps with Mount San Simeone overlooking Lake Cavazzo and Cuarnan overlooking Gemona along with Chiampon and Plauris. To the south one can admire the beauty of the Friulian plain preceded by the soft conformations of the moraine hills, and the gaze sweeps to the sea.
    The statue of Our Lady, towers over the summit and greets visitors with its majestic presence. Next to it is the summit book, where hikers can leave a message or dedication. Nearby, the bell dedicated to the victims of the Friuli earthquake rings in the wind, commemorating those who lost their lives in that tragic event.

    In the surrounding area, traces of military communication routes can still be seen, designed as a defensive line set back on the esplanade between Mount Cuar and Mount Flagjel. These silent roads bear witness to a tumultuous past and defense strategies that now rest in peace along with the surrounding nature.

    Author’s recommendation

    Once the hike is over, it is possible to continue along the road by re-entering through the Monte Prat plateau and descending to Cornino (UD)
