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.
