Selected alternatives for you

    One of the longest stages of the entire Walk of Peace, extremely rich in history and culture, well beyond the period of the Great War.

    A long and extremely interesting stage both from a historical and cultural point of view and from a landscape perspective. Cividale del Friuli, a historic city declared UNESCO heritage since 2012, located as a central point within this long stage, deserves a stop that might lead the hiker to choose to split this route into two different days. By doing so, the hiker would have the opportunity to allow time, otherwise rather short, to fully enjoy a visit to this charming town. Considered a small gem of Friuli, capital of the first Lombard Duchy in Italy, Cividale del Friuli reveals itself as a city rich in monuments, museums, and very well-preserved historical and archaeological sites that can give great satisfaction to all kinds of visitors. The Natisone/Nediške Doline valleys, with the river running between mountainous ridges, will further enhance the route's charm.

    Author’s recommendation

    Given the length and richness of the stage, it is advisable to divide it into two with a stop in Cividale for an in-depth visit to the city.

    In winter months, be careful for possible presence of snow and ice both on the trails and along ordinary roads.

    Roadbook

    The stage starts from Castelmonte and the eponymous sanctuary and descends towards the village of Purgessimo. From here, along ordinary roads, proceed towards Cividale del Friuli and to Piazza della Resistenza, passing the city walls and reaching the Devil's Bridge with its splendid view over the Natisone/Nadiža river. From here continue along Corso Mazzini and Via Carlo Alberto up to the Great War Museum of Cividale. Then cross Borgo San Domenico until Sanguarzo where you climb to the summit of Monte dei Bovi. Afterwards, take a comfortable forest road to first arrive at Macorins/Mahorin, Vernasso/Barnas, and then Oculis/Nokula where you find the bridge leading to San Pietro al Natisone, home of the Walk of Peace Visitor Center.
