The route winds through the reliefs that
overlook the Stevenà area, in an evocative and
wild natural landscape. For the most part, it
follows paths and mule tracks, and only for a
short distance two secondary roads of Caneva.
It is suitable for non-expert hikers as it has
a length of about 8 km and almost 400 m of
positive altitude difference. It can be travelled
all year round even if the weather can be very
hot in summer. Lug sole shoes and good water
supplies are recommended.
The route starts just upstream from the square Fiaschetti
of Caneva (where you can admire the centuryold
lime tree) near a historic fountain. Take Via
Tambruz and follow it for about 1 km until you
reach the mouth of the Bocca de Val, next to
the entrance to one of the numerous SP29 quarries
in the area of Caneva. It is right here in this
strip of foothills that there is a precious ‘vein’
of pure calcium carbonate, locally known

as ‘Marmorino’, listed among the geosites
of Friuli Venezia Giulia. From here, take a
mule track that climbs towards the Castle
of Caneva (1), located at the top of the Col de
Fer, in a particularly strategic position, where
the remains of the ancient walls and splendid
bell tower with the church of St Lucy (2) are
still present today. Halfway up the slope, pass
a quarry amphitheatre and deviate into the
valley, then continue on the opposite side up
to the hamlet known as the Red Land, ‘Terra
Rio Fiaschetti
Rio Silliga
rossa’, due to red-brown colour of the ground
and rocks (1.8 km from the start). The whole
route is characterized with typical thermophilic
vegetation: mainly Black Hornbeam, Manna
Ash and Field Maple with a notable presence of
Holly. The aridity, besides being related to the
mild winter temperatures, is also, and above
all, edaphic. The entire route is characterized
by a deeply karst environment with stones
with odd and fascinating shapes, ‘machined’
by millennia of corrosion! The path continues
uphill with steep and relatively bumpy sections
along a mule track, among ancient terraces
now invaded by vegetation. Stretches of arid
meadows make the route varied and wild.
When you arrive on a forest track (2.5 km from
the start), follow its gentle ups and downs
(maximum altitude 400 m a.s.l.) until you arrive
to Pian Salere (4.5 km from the start).
From here, along the ancient path of ‘Madonna
degli Scalini’ (3), climbing up from Stevenà
to the hamlet of Lamar and to Cansiglio, you
descend to the ‘Madonnina’ (4) and end up at
the foothill road (5.5 km from the start). The
route is moderately steep, but splendid and
suggestive. Continue along the paved road
for about 1 km (6.5 km from the start), then
detour to a dirt road which winds through fields
and stretches of woods until it returns to Via
Tambruz and the route starting point.
