10 thousand steps of health FVG - SPILIMBERGO

The loop route runs starting from Cathedral Square and descending to the Ancona church. After an initial asphalt section, it takes a dirt road that runs along the riverbed of the Tagliamento River going up the slope called the "cleva" of Gaio and returning to the historic center, on alternating stretches of asphalt and dirt road. The circuit is about 8.5 km and runs on asphalt for about 3.7 km and on dirt for about 4.8 km. It can be done on foot or by bicycle and allows you to explore scenic corners, inhabited areas of some of the hamlets that make up Spilimbergo and some significant monuments of historical and artistic interest. Walking along the "grava" and the surroundings of Spilimbergo allows one to appreciate at the same time the surrounding landscape and the many small artistic beauties one encounters there, such as small churches, folk artworks, and manor houses. Along the dirt road from Spilimbergo to Valeriano under the "cleva" of Baseglia, along the right bank of the Tagliamento River, it will be possible to observe a varied wild vegetation and a rich fauna typical of the piedmont area. Continuing along the riverbed of the Tagliamento you will reach the "cleva" of Gaio, a steep climb to the church of San Marco. You descend to the hamlet of Baseglia, crossing the "cleva" of the same name. From this, you return to the starting point in Piazza Duomo, initially on a dirt road that runs alongside the disused railroad network and then on a paved road along Via Filanda Vecchia and on the bike/pedestrian path of Via della Roggia, both lapped by the Spilimbergo Canal. Deserving a visit is the adjacent Palazzo di Sopra with its beautiful gardens.

Due to the characteristics of the path, the same is suitable for different types of users (families, adults, seniors, walking groups, Nordic walking) while ensuring safe conditions for users.
