THE MEMORY OF WATER ROUTE - TORRE RIVER PARK

141

The route develops along the western bank

of the Torre River, at the border between the

municipalities of Udine and Remanzacco and

the hamlets of San Gottardo and Godia.

The route is 7.1 km long (round trip) and can be

covered both on foot (2 hours) and by bicycle

(35 minuti). You can start the route up north,

at the hamlet of Godia, or in the south, at the

hamlet of San Gottardo (1).

A few stretches of the route lead down to

the Torre riverbed (2) where you can enjoy a

panoramic view up to the mountains. Along

the route, besides the different types of

landscapes you can also see the Lime Furnace

(3) of Via Emilia. By slightly deviating from the

route, it is also possible to visit a few places of

interest such as St Bernard’s Church (4), dating

back to the 13 th century, in the hamlet of San

Bernardo, the Coiutti Mill (5), in the hamlet of

Godia and St Gothard’s Church (6).

Historical information

In the past, the area between San Gottardo,

Godia and Beivars was crossed by a late Roman

road, the ‘Strada Bariglaria’ which connected

Udine to Gemona. The presence of an artificial

channel (in Italian ‘roggia’), in this area, is cited

for the first time in a document of 1171. This

channel, called the ‘Roggia di Palma’, powered

mills, ironworks and tanneries of the area and

can still be seen today in the hamlet of Godia.
