A SEASIDE STROLL: THE ROUTE “UNDER THE COLOURS

OF THE SUNSET”

71

The route “Under the Colours of the Sunset”

starts at the end of the “Porto Vecchio” dock,

near the old lonely Casone. The route is named

after the path of the setting sun.

It is 4 km long and develops along the

embankment, embellished by the row of

tamarisk trees on the edge of the lagoon,

where, in hidden corners, ducks, mallards and

swans live safely and protected. The sunset sky

along this path is particularly suggestive and,

especially during the cold season, offers truly

exciting moments. From any point, it offers a

wide view of the mountain peaks that embrace

Friuli Venezia Giulia.

BIODIVERSITY: you can admire different

animal species: birds, reptiles, amphibians,

insects, molluscs and mammals.

The avifauna is well represented by the

anatidae, such as the mallard (Anas

platyrhynchos) and the black-necked grebe

(Podiceps nigricollis), and the family of the

ardeidae, such as the little egret (Egretta

garzetta) and the grey heron (Ardea cinerea).

The route is a cycle-pedestrian path, a dirt road

covered with limestone rubble. It is accessible

to people with reduced or impaired mobility

and furnished with benches for a relaxing

break.

The route passes near refreshment points,

which can be found also in the neighbouring

area (especially during the bathing season).

A fitness area is available next to the starting

point at the Porto Casoni dock.

One of Lignano Sabbiadoro’s distinctive traits

is that here it is possible to measure any

walking distance by counting the steps taken.

Just think that the maximum distance between

two points in the town is 10,000 steps, then you

arrive to the sea or the lagoon.

Walking in this town will be pure enjoyment and

will allow you to appreciate this enchanting

tourist resort while keeping your body fit.

Just choose an itinerary and, while enjoying

nature, the scents and the atmosphere, you

will discover the hidden features and corners

of this coastal town.
