Geography and landscape
The most important mountain groups north of the Mauria pass are the Clap, Terza, Sauris and Bivera groups, south of the pass the Cridola, Monfalconi group and the Spalti di Toro. The diversity of the landscape and especially the rock formations stands up to any comparison with the much better known Dolomite districts.
Mountain groups and peaks
Highest mountains: Cima dei Preti ( 2706 m slm ), Monte Duranno ( 2668 m ), Monte Cridola ( 2581 m ), Monte Pramaggiore ( 2479 m ) and the Cima Monfalcon di Montanaia ( 2548 m ) with the 300 meter high, free im The rocky basin of the uppermost Val Montanaia towering rock tower Campanile di Val Montanaia ( 2173 m ). The rock tower above the Val Cimoliana is the landmark of the area and was first climbed in 1902 by the Austrians Saar and von Glanvell .
tourism
The Friulian Dolomites are a largely undeveloped mountain area for tourism.
The main section of the Dolomites High Trail 6 (rightly called the Path of Silence ) leads south from Sappada and roams through the entire area, also with several variants. However, this long-distance hiking trail is only reserved for persevering, climbing mountaineers and requires a good sense of direction; often it is more of a route than a mountain trail. A very impressive but also demanding high-altitude route (two days) leads from the Rif. Pordenone on the Sentiero Marini to the Biv. Gervasutti and on to the Rif. Tita barba; from there one arrives over the Rif. Padova and the Forcella Montanaia to the Campanile di Montanaia and then back to the starting point.
Friulian Dolomites Nature Park
Most of the area belongs to the 37,000 hectare nature park of the same name, which was officially founded in 1996 in the Friulian Dolomites . The nature park stretches from the former province of Pordenone to the former province of Udine and includes the Cellina valley with the communities Andreis , Cimolais , Claut and Erto e Casso as well as the upper Tagliamento valley with the communities Forni di Sopra and Forni di Sotto and the communities in the Tramontina valley Frisanco and Tramonti di Sopra . In terms of tourism, the largely lonely area is partly only accessible through self-catering huts and bivouac boxes . In the immediate vicinity of the natural park is the 304 hectare Forra del Cellina nature reserve .
Worth seeing
- Campanile di Val Montanaia rock tower
- At Kaser Casavento on September 30, 1994 fossil traces of dinosaurs of the suborder theropods were discovered.
- The Casa Clautana museum in Klaus shows everyday rural life in the Cellinatal.
- When it was built in the 1960s, the arch dam on the reservoir of Lago di Vajont was the highest of its kind in the world at 265 meters. On October 9, 1963 , human interference caused a major landslide in the geologically unstable area (270 million cubic meters slid into the filled reservoir). The resulting tidal wave destroyed large parts of the surrounding villages of Erto and Casso and spilled over the dam wall. In Longarone , in particular, down the valley, around 2,000 people died. The accident is documented in the visitor center in Erto.
- Other visitor centers are in Cimolais ( natural history didactic project ), Andreis (native birds in the avifaunistic department ), Forni di Sopra (flora), Forni di Sotto (forest typologies) and Poffabro (cheese making).
- At Monte Borgà (2,200 m) you will find the Libri di San Daniele , a striking rock layer.
- The Ethnographic Museum of Art and Peasant Culture in Andreis was opened in 1981.
