PLANNED ITINERARY
Cervignano del Friuli - FVG in motion 10 thousand steps of health
LENGTH
3900 meters
DEPARTURE
Parking park of the Blood Donors
The path begins near a paved parking area that does not have reserved spaces for people with disabilities (Photo 1). From the parking lot, it is necessary to travel a stretch on the road before entering the path.
At the entrance of the itinerary, there is an information sign (Photo 2) and there is a curb about one centimeter high compared to the level of the road (Photo 3).
The path in the initial part is made of mixed earth and grass (Photo 4), with shallow gravel that in case of rain forms muddy depressions (Photo 5).
The first stretch of the path, which runs alongside the Ausa river, is characterized by the presence of resting areas (benches) and along the left edge, the absence of protective barriers is noticeable.
The area without grass cover is about 70 cm wide.
Continuing, on the right, you can see the remains of an air raid shelter dating back to the First World War (point 1 on the map). Near the adjacent fountain, there is an area without pavement and consequently muddy in case of rain (Photo 6).
At the square in front of the Mesol parking lot, the path features a surface with concrete slabs and a section of deeper gravel (photo 7)
The path continues with a porphyry surface, wider at the beginning, which then narrows to about 2 meters in width (Photo 8). The absence of protective barriers along the side bordering the river continues.
Near the washbasin (point 2 on the map), the porphyry section narrows further to about 135 cm in width (Photo 9). From this point onward, the path has a protective railing on the left side towards the Ausa river (Photo 10) and the porphyry surface is quite compact and stable, with no significant changes in elevation.
Near the iron bridge, the surface changes to a level and homogeneous stone and the protective barrier towards the Ausa river ends (Photo 11).
There is a ramp with a slope of about 4 degrees and a width of about 150 cm leading to the iron bridge characterized by the presence of a cycle-pedestrian passage with asphalt pavement. (Photo 12).
After crossing the iron bridge (point 3 on the map), turn left to follow the northern bank of the Ausa river (photo 13), descending through a wide porphyry ramp with about 4 degrees of inclination (photo 14)
At the end of the ramp, access is gained to the sidewalk with a slightly uneven porphyry surface and a width of about 150 cm (Photo 15). The left side of the sidewalk towards the river is protected by a railing and vegetation.
At the end of the sidewalk, a very short ramp that poses no difficulties leads back down to the roadway, which is traveled for a few meters before entering a dirt section after crossing a curb about 1 cm high (photo 16).
The surface of the dirt section, which is about 2 meters wide, (Photo 17) consists of soil and shallow gravel that, in case of rain, can lead to occasional puddles and muddy areas. There are some benches along the path.
The section ends at the monument (point 4 on the map), erected in memory of the Nazi massacre of April 29, 1945 (Photo 18). To return to the iron bridge, you must retrace the path.
From the iron bridge, it is possible to optionally divert towards the second ring, an additional route that starts at the pedestrian crossing of Via XXIV Maggio, which is level but has a short stretch of cobblestones (Photo 19).
The path continues on a porphyry surface, where the section reserved for pedestrians is about 130 cm wide (Photo 20).
To enter Via Trento, both the pedestrian crossing (Photo 21) and the sidewalk (Photo 22) are absent.
The path continues along Via Trento, on a roadway without protections. To access the pedestrian path that runs along the watercourse, the pedestrian crossing is absent (Photo 23).
The pedestrian path with a dirt and gravel surface, which runs alongside the Ausa river, is protected on the left side by a wooden railing. Along this path, you can admire the fishermen's houses (point 5 on the map).
This section features exposed rocks and is uneven in many places. There is a step (Photo 25) near the railway underpass (Photo 26).
After passing the underpass, turning left, you cross the river via a recently constructed iron and wood bridge (Photo 27).
After crossing the bridge, turning left, you go through the underpass again, on a gravelly and uneven stretch (Photo 28).
At the end, you enter a very narrow path (about 80 cm) covered in grass, which runs alongside the Ausa on the right; the side facing the river is protected by a wooden railing.
The path then widens to about 3 meters. The Ausa flows on the left, and there are no protective barriers (Photo 30).
At the end of the path, you transition to a gravel area and then to an asphalted road open to vehicle traffic, but with low traffic volume (Photo 31).
The path ends on via Udine before returning to the Austro-Hungarian Iron Bridge.
