PLANNED ITINERARY
Zoppola - FVG in motion 10 thousand steps of health
LENGTH
4200 meters
DEPARTURE
Via Leonardo da Vinci
The route begins on via Leonardo da Vinci, where there are numerous public buildings such as the Auditorium and the Library, and near a large parking lot, there is the explanatory sign of the 10,000 steps of Health FVG (photo 1, 2).
There are no indicator signs for the route, so reference is made to the map.
You cross the provincial road (via Giardini), which lacks an adequate pedestrian crossing (photo 3), and continue on the road in front (via Monti) where we find the first sign (Photo 4).
The road is without a sidewalk (Photo 5) but has very low traffic frequency.
Near a slight left curve, there is another indicator sign for the route (Photo 6).
After a few meters, on the left, you can see the canal “Fiumetto” well described in the explanatory sign (photo 7).
You leave the houses behind to enter the fields.
After about 400 m from the start, you leave the paved road and continue on a comfortable dirt road (Photo 8).
After walking a few meters, you encounter and follow the canal again.
You continue the route in a rural setting, where there is a poplar grove in the distance and many trees both on the bank of the canal and along the sides of the road (Photo 9).
After 580 m from the start, the indicator sign (Photo 10) indicates to turn right.
After about 800 m, we reach an intersection where a clear sign (Photo 11) indicates the direction to the right (sign: via della Lonca) (Photo 12-14).
The white road, now devoid of trees, stretches between the fields, and in front of us, the outline of the Cavallo mountain group is clearly visible.
The path here presents a well-trodden and orderly surface, looking well-maintained.
1 km from the start, a directional sign indicates a left turn (photos 15-16). The surface is asphalted for a few meters before becoming unpaved again.
After about 1.5 km, you will pass a young poplar grove. You continue in an orderly rural environment (Photo 17-19).
After about 2.1 km from the start, you leave the dirt road and continue on asphalted ground.
Through a pedestrian crossing (Photo 20-22), you cross Provincial Road 6 to reach the cycle path and continue the route.
You continue for a long stretch on Provincial Road, first called via Montello (you pass the sign for loc. Cusano) and further on via Panciera (sign loc. Zoppola), remaining on the asphalted cycle path for more than 1 km.
Arriving at the junction with via Trieste, the cycle path ends (Photo 24).
Here, via Panciera bends towards the center of the village while the 10,000 steps route continues almost straight. Turning slightly left, you reach the pedestrian crossing, then you find the indication to turn right and continue on a somewhat uneven sidewalk (Photo 25) for cycling (Photo 26). After 3.5 km from the start, you arrive at via Trieste.
At the intersection with via Silvestri (Photo 27), there is a pedestrian crossing; continue straight on via Trieste (Photo 28), alongside the cemetery on the right.
You reach a roundabout where there is a double pedestrian crossing (photo 29); turning right onto via Giardini there is a sign for the municipal auditorium.
The long road moves away from the center to reach the school area and finally the starting point at the Auditorium. It is necessary to cross pedestrian crossings without ramps but with a low curb (Photos 31-33).
The route of about 4.2 km ends near the parking lot of the Auditorium (Photo 34).
