    The route starts in Pordenone and follows secondary roads and bike paths to Sacile, known as the “Garden of the Serenissima.” Along the way, you’ll pass by Villa Correr Dolfin in Porcia and its park. After visiting Sacile’s historic center, the route continues along the Livenza River to Fiaschetti, where the short climb leading to Sarone begins. The route then descends to the Palù di Livenza pile-dwelling site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Immediately afterward, you’ll reach the splendid headwaters of the Livenza River and, further north, the spectacular Gorgazzo spring, which rises from a deep sinkhole. The route continues to the nearby village of Polcenigo, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. From S. Giovanni di Polcenigo, you return toward Pordenone along a partially unpaved road that leads through the villages of Borgonuovo and Rorai Grande until you reach the historic center of Pordenone, surrounded by parks and resurgence ponds.

    Author’s recommendation

    There are numerous train stations along the route, allowing you to start the hike from other locations as well (Sacile, Budoia, and Fontanafredda)
