Nestled in the heart of Val Resia, Ta Stara Pot is a journey through time along the ancient paths that, for centuries, have connected the valley's small hamlets. As you walk on these historic traces, you pass through dense beech forests, skirt crystal-clear streams and suddenly open views of flower-filled meadows and villages with authentic charm.
Each step tells the story of a unique valley, where Resian culture has managed to keep its identity alive. Along the way, the silence of nature is intertwined with the sound of flowing water and the scents of the mountains, providing a profound sensory experience.
Perfect for lovers of trekking and discovery, Ta Stara Pot is more than a path: it is an opportunity to immerse oneself in unspoiled nature and rediscover the bond between man and land. An invitation to walk slowly, letting yourself be guided by the rhythm of the valley.
Author’s recommendation
To have a complete experience on the uniqueness of the Resia Valley, it is highly recommended to visit the museums of the Resia Valley and the Julian Pre-Alps Nature Park visitor center, and to eat some typical dishes in one of the local restaurants in the valley.
