The Magredi is a large area of the Friulian plain whose soil consists of large pebbles, gravel, sand, and little earth. While over many centuries much of the Magredi areas have been cultivated, the vast triangular portion between the Cellina and Meduna streams has remained partly as the first people who inhabited Friuli after the last glaciation found it: a kind of whitish heathland with little grass and some shrubs. This almost lunar landscape has an unexpected naturalness and an intense charm, similar to what you feel when looking at the sea or a lake. The wide horizons that can be enjoyed crossing this territory are unique spectacles and getting to know the nature of a seemingly arid and desolate land is an experience to try at least once.
