The route starts in Tolmezzo, the historic capital of Carnia. For those wishing to reach the cycle path using public transport, start cycling in Venzone, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, cross the Tagliamento, and continue to Cavazzo Carnico. After crossing the Tagliamento again, you reach Tolmezzo, a town with a historic center that preserves the remains of a 15th-century urban layout, and pedal along the But stream towards Zuglio, an ancient Roman city founded under the name Iulium Carnicum probably during Julius Caesar's proconsulate (59-49 BC), where you can admire the remains of the ancient Roman forum including a basilica, a temple, and a portico. The ride continues to reach the tourist location of Arta Terme, known for its thermal waters. Then proceed to Sutrio, a town famous for woodcraft tradition, not far from Paluzza, the final destination of this short cycle path.
Author’s recommendation
In Paluzza, it is possible to follow the signs of the R015 loop and return to Tolmezzo through Ravascletto on low-traffic roads and the FVG6a cycle path.
