Cellina Ravine Reserve

The Nature Reserve Forra del Cellina is an area of 300 hectares distributes between the municipalities of Andreis, Barcis and Montereale Valcellina.

The importance to the reserve is attached mainly by the geo-morphological aspects; in fact, it is a real forra dug in the chalky sediments, with the steady presence of water, waterfalls and striking forms of erosion. In appearance it is a big canyon, the largest of the region and, with no doubt one of the most spectacular in Italy. In the reserve you could observe also particular botanic rare species that live here thanks to the particular micro-climatic conditions.

Going along the Dint path (near the Visitors’ centre), it is possible to admire a spectacular sights of the forra.

55 meters suspended over one of the most scenic canyons in Italy: the bridge, in complete safety, offers a spectacular view of the ravine and emerald waters of the Cellina stream.
 

One of the most characteristic aspects of the Reserve is the "old road" that crosses the entire reserve, allowing you to observe the spectacular forms of erosion that the stream has slowly shaped by cutting the narrow ravine between Mount Fara and Pala d'Altei.
 

Don't you feel like walking? No problem: for you there is a tourist train which, unfortunately, at the moment is not operating,  that crosses the entire reserve. The journey takes about an hour and allows you to listen to the description of the itinerary in Italian and English.
