Yet it's an incredibly deep container of culture and history, as boarder region being relevant for the protection of Italy since the roman empire and until world war II, and an important commercial area as closest access to the sea for a large part of Europe.
And above all, what's attractive to us is the gems it preserves from massive tourism: Tarvisio and Lignano are two of the most charming destinations of the area, that perfectly represent the soul of Friuli region as we described it.
Tarvisio
The
position of junction between Friuli, Austria and Slovenia in Roman times favored
the establishment of Tarvisio, a village that in the Middle Ages became famous
for fairs and the iron industry. Peaceful immigration or violent destruction by
Transalpine populations have always marked the events of Tarvisio. Placed in
the Val Canale, Tarvisio is surrounded by an environmental reserve, the
Tarvisio Forest, woodland and wildlife oasis which houses deer, ibex and brown
bears in the frame of the rare spruce and fir. Nearby is also the Fusine Lakes
Regional Park, known for its clear waters.
Lignano Sabbiadoro
Modern
Lignano is one of northern Italy’s premier beach
destinations, with sweeping stretches of sand set against a backdrop of dark
pines in Lignano Pineta and Lignano Riviera, and theme parks and multi-story
car parks in brash, but never boring, Lignano Sabbiadoro.
Three camping
grounds, including Pino Mare, a tree-shaded cabin village at the mouth of the
Tagliamento river, supplement the 100-plus hotels. At the other end of the
scale, Mitteleuropean luxe is heaped on at Hotel Greif, with wood-floored
rooms, big bathrooms, views, and jaunty guest bicycles.
