モンテレアーレヴァルチェッリーナの天然記念物・トップ20

Fresh, cold spring water for drinking and tapping.

Mount Jôuf is a peak in the Carnic Prealps that rises behind the city of Maniago. This name, quite common in the mountain environment, literally translates to "yoke" (long and rounded mountain summit). The name appears for the first time in 1286, in the Municipal Archives of Maniago, and today it is written in various ways including: Iouf, Jouf, Jôf, Iof and Jof. Its main peak, an enchanting grassy clearing at 1,224 m, in a panoramic position on the Friulian plain, is recognizable by a modest flag with a rudimentary bench. In reality there is also a lower peak, traditionally recognized, located at 1,203 m and reachable from the saddle below. Here there is a large cross with a summit book. Nearby there is a meteorological station that reduces the view.

Panoramic view of Alpago. Peace. Looking down, you can see hidden behind the reliefs a tip of Lake Santa Croce, which always amazes with the clarity of its waters. Behind you, however, rise several peaks around 2000 m, among which is the Semenza bivouac.

The first snow

I take you on a photographic excursion where the lake under maintenance offers unexpected views. Discover how the sunset light, the gray sky and the haze can transform a seemingly flat scene into a magical composition.

For those who climb Mount Jouf from Maniago, they arrive at the top, where there is a large cross. Many think that the top is that one, but for the real top (about thirty meters higher), it is necessary to continue along the crest, passing the repeaters, and descending to the saddle, go back up to the real top positioned along the crest (bench and flag).

This walkway suspended in the void makes unique panoramas possible.

Today a small trickle of water comes out wrapped in moss... make Dardago water enough...
