Cavazzo Carnico - FVG in motion 10 thousand steps of health

LENGTH

6000 meters

The start of the path is located near the area of the Somplago hydroelectric power station on the outskirts of the village, on the road that from Somplago proceeds counterclockwise along the west side of Lake Cavazzo.

Near the information panel, there is no defined parking area, but there are spaces owned by the hydroelectric power station (Photo 1). The path begins on a dirt road that crosses a green area (Photo 2-3) near the shores of the lake. The green area is equipped with benches and bike racks. At this point, the road curves and reaches the point where the information panel of the 10,000 steps FVG is located, 250 m from the parking lot (Photo 4).

From the main dirt road, other paths branch off towards the lake (Photo 5) marked on the map and outlined on the signboard.

Returning to the paved road, one proceeds south along the shores of the lake. The road is smooth and lightly trafficked, following the lake's banks with wide curves (Photo 6) interspersed with straight sections (Photo 7). To cross the lake's depressions, the road becomes a bridge (Photo 8). One continues under the highway viaduct (Photo 9).
