RUSTICO nelle VALLI DEL NATISONE

The cluster is in the Natisone Valleys under the Julian Prealps, with steep wooded slopes and narrow side valleys around Savogna. The Natisone river system shapes the area, and the Slovenian border is close. This is part of the wider belt of the Julian Prealps Regional Nature Park on the Italian side of these valleys. The nearest larger town is Cividale del Friuli, which has a substantial historic center and services, and is a UNESCO site for its Lombard heritage. The area is known for its hill villages, mixed Italian-Slovene cultural landscape, chestnut woods and mountain-edge walking country.
