The Fontanone Barman waterfall is located in the immediate vicinity of Prato. From the visitor centre, an educational trail leads through meadows and forests to the river below, where deer and woodpeckers can be observed. The educational trail combines views of the northern side of the Musi range with meadows, forests and wildlife observation by the river below.
Circular Route and Sentiero del gusto
The “10 mila passi di salute FVG - RESIA” circular route begins at Majana di Lipovaz in Prato di Resia; after parking in Piazza Tiglio, you reach the starting point via 0.5 km of paved road. Between Prato and San Giorgio, the route passes through meadows, pine forests and deciduous forests. Glacial erratics can be found along the route; some of them were worked on by Diego Marangoni.
The 0.5 km of paved road from the car park in Piazza Tiglio to the starting point is a separate section at the beginning of the circular route. The alternation of meadows, pine forests and deciduous forests characterises the sections of the route between Prato and San Giorgio.
The “Sentiero del gusto” also begins at Majana di Lipovaz and ends in San Giorgio after crossing the Resia River and continuing through several districts. The two routes differ in their course: the circular route runs between Prato and San Giorgio, while the Sentiero del gusto crosses the river and passes through several districts on the way to San Giorgio. For the Sentiero del gusto, the route across the Resia River and through several districts is the specific difference from the circular route.
Getting There and Transport
The nearest suitable railway station is Stazione Carnia; it is more than 20 km from the starting point of the itinerary. Local public bus services operate in the Resia Valley. For planning your journey, the distance to Stazione Carnia, the services in the Resia Valley and the location of the trails can be considered as separate practical matters. The distance to Stazione Carnia refers to the starting point of the itinerary, not to the individual trail sections in the Resia Valley.
