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.
