"Ring of Bordaglia": Stretta Fleons - Sissanis - Lake Pera - Lake Bordaglia

This trail develops in one of the most naturalistically valuable areas of the Carnic Range, within theBordaglia-Fleons wildlife oasis established by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region in 1968, characterized by a rich vegetation with many varieties of flowers and wild orchids, where chamois, roe deer and deer, marmot, capercaillie, black grouse, and many others live undisturbed, over which the golden eagle reigns. Lake Pera is populated by the Alpine Newt and the Black Salamander.

The area also includes some sites of considerable geological interest characterized by the presence of the Bordaglia Valley Line, a bundle of tectonic faults. The area consists of a succession of Paleozoic basement metamorphic rocks and Devonian and Triassic limestones.

During World War I, these places were the subject of bitter fighting between the Royal Italian Army and the Imperial Austungarian Army. The Italian front line ran in the area from Mt. Navagiust to Sella Sissanis and from there to Quota Pascoli and Spina Pesce. Bitter were the clashes in these places and war relics are still visible.
