Outdoor itineraries

Ator par Spilimberc e par lis muculis is the name given to these three itineraries which take you on a journey of discovery through the artistic and natural landmarks in Spilimbergo and the surrounding area.

 

Lis Muculis is a Friulian word, traditionally heard in Spilimbergo, to indicate the protuberances of land that slope down towards the shores of the Tagliamento river. Our city is packed with these natural views and the local council has sought to promote the area by offering three itineraries, as a new way of experiencing the local area.

Itinerary 1

The first circular route can be completed on foot or by bike. It offers the chance to revisit well-known sites and spend a couple of hours walking along a gravel path, taking in both nature and the artistic treasures Spilimbergo has to offer. Below are the key points on the itinerary.
