Cividale del Friuli

This route presents a shorter version of the anello Nord del Natisone which unfolds in borgo Brossana. The now quiet and unassuming village was the site of incessant and intense trade flows of transalpine origin in the Middle Ages. The route cuts across cultivated land and a stretch of the gorge of the river Natisone. In hydrographic terms, this territory is crossed by the winding course of the Riio Emiliano, one of the main tributaries on the right bank of the Natisone, from where it spills out enthusiastically. The area is also home to Borgo Viola, a name widespread in other Friuli areas, which originates from the presence of a secluded and retreated lane.
