The Fella ( Furlanisch Fele , Slovenian Bela ) is a river in northeast Friuli , Northern Italy and flows through the Val Canale (Canal Valley) from Camporosso (Saifnitz) near Tarvis to Pontebba (Pontafel) and the Canal del Ferro ( Iron Valley) as a southern continuation of the Canal Valley to Carnia , where it flows into the Tagliamento as a delta . The name goes back to the iron that was shipped south from Tarvisio , where iron production flourished in the 15th century.
The Fella rises as Torrente Fella (Fellabach) northwest of Camporosso , strives eastwards to the outskirts and turns there at the watershed Mediterranean – Black Sea at the Saifnitz Saddle (Sella di Camporosso) to the west. From there one speaks of the Canal Valley, and from around there or a little further in Ugovizza (Uggowitz) of Fiume Fella (Fella River). It changes its direction of flow at Pontebba to the south and flows back to the west at Chiusaforte . Only just before the delta confluence with the Tagliamento does it turn south again.
The name Fellatal is only used in general geographic terms for the course of the Fella in the western Channel Valley and through the Eisental, but not a landscape name. Two side valleys from the Carnic region reach the Fella: the valley of the Pontebbana torrent and the Aupa valley near Moggio Udinese . Three other side valleys come from the mountains of the Julian Alps from the east : Dognatal , Raccolana and Résia .
The main towns along the river are Camporosso, Malborghetto , Pontebba, Pietratagliata , Dogna , Chiusaforte, Resiutta and Carnia .
The state road (Strada statale) SS13 Pontebbana , the A23 Alpe-Adria motorway and the Pontebbana , the railway line from Villach via Tarvisio to Udine, run through the canal and iron valleys . The railway line that originally followed the valley was replaced by a new line (New Pontebbana ). The remains of the old route can still be seen in many places and are reused as a cycle path.
