    The route starts in Santa Maria la Longa from the town hall: here you can see the works of art commemorating the stay of the poet Ungaretti and the uprising of the Catanzaro brigade during the First World War. Along the route we pass through agricultural villages with 17th- and 18th-century villas used by the Udine nobility to stay there during the summer. The villas include the Villa Agricola Strassoldo del Torso and Villa Caimo Mauroner in Tissano and Villa Manin Guerresco with frescoes by Tiepolo in Clauiano, named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. In this village you can breathe in the atmosphere of a typical Friulian rural village.

    Author’s recommendation

    Type of track: an easy route that is completely flat, along paved roads, a few sections of cycle tracks, and a very good gravel road between Dogana Vecchia and Clauiano. Traffic is generally light, only slightly heavier in some stretches of the route. Suitable for all types of bicycles, in all seasons.
