Hiking / Biking / Nature
The Nature Park Dolomiti Friulane was founded in 1996 and is interesting both from a ecological and a scientific point of view. The expansive hiking trail system and the alpine huts allow a multitude of trekking tours and hikes. The pinnacles of the Dolomites stand in contrast to vast valleys. Capricorns as well as golden eagles live in the UNESCO- World Nature Heritage site, which is of a unique beauty.
