ボルダーノの峠・トップ9

Venzone is an Italian municipality with around 2,000 inhabitants in the province of Udine, located directly at the entrance to the Canale del Ferro.

The Church of Sant'Agnese is an ancient church, possibly dating back to the 12th century, and was probably built on the ruins of a pagan temple along the Celtic Way. As early as the 13th century, a hermitage of nuns, possibly affiliated with the Rule of St. Benedict, was attached to the church. They later moved to the village, where the monastery of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart is today. It is located on the saddle of the same name and nestles well below the saddle. Next to the church are well-preserved stone houses used for gastronomic and commercial purposes. It can be reached via two different routes. One leads up from Gemona, the other along a former military road from Ospedaletto via Fort Monte Ercole to the church.

The name Venzone is of pre-Latin origin and was mentioned for the first time in 923 AD as Clausas de Abiciones, later becoming Albiciones, Aventinone, Avenzon, Avenzone, and finally Venzone.

This point is Forcella Tacia, which divides Val Venzonassa from Valle del Torre

Wonderful pretty little place

Cycling through Venzone, no matter which way you come, is almost always worthwhile because it is simply a lovely, typically Italian village with a tragic past and shows how powerful solidarity among the population can be.

the climb from Venzone is very hard with significant slopes on the road and concrete but the effort is repaid by the place where you find yourself, then the road becomes a dirt road immersed in the woods, a fantastic place

Top Route But you pig chased us through the thorn bushes (forest)!!
