Natisone Valleys itinerary (Cividale - Stupizza) (P006)

Food & Wine:
The treasure chest of the Natisone Valleys offers the delicious Gubana, a leavened pastry with dried fruit baked in the oven, shaped characteristically like a spiral. Among local products stands out the Zeuka apple, an indigenous variety with roots dating back to Roman times. Used both as a base for desserts and for savory preparations.
Recommended dish: Stakanje

Route:
The ride starts in Cividale, heading towards Purgessimo; through Ponte San Quirino, the route follows the peaceful banks of the Natisone River, encompassing small villages with few rural houses like Vernasso Basso, Tarcetta, and Pulfero. Typical architecture dots the journey, passing by gems such as the village of Cicigolis. For the more adventurous, a detour to Tarcetta leads to the picturesque village of Antro, at 320 meters above sea level, where the San Giovanni Cave is located. The main road continues along the Natisone, making the river a constant companion up to Stupizza, passing by Linder.
