A paved road leads through the valley with some very well-lit tunnels and galleries. In some places, there are beautiful views of the Arrzino riverbed with its crystal-clear water.

Known as the "Balcony of Friuli", Clauzetto is a charming mountain village in the province of Pordenone, nestled on a natural terrace offering an extraordinary panorama of the plain and the Tagliamento river. The heart of the village is dominated by the Church of San Giacomo Apostolo, reachable via a monumental 18th-century stone staircase, which houses the relic of the Most Precious Blood. A short distance from the center are the spectacular Grotte di Pradis, a deep gorge carved by the Cosa stream where unspoiled nature blends with history, thanks to important archaeological finds linked to Neanderthals. Walking through the hamlets of Clauzetto means immersing yourself in spontaneous architecture made of local stone that preserves the authentic and hospitable charm of the Friulian mid-mountain area intact.

This furnace is an interesting example of industrial archaeology. It was built in 1926 by a group of local families to provide alternative employment.

Clauzetto rightly calls itself the "balcony of Friuli." I know many places with sweeping views of Friuli, and the "round horizon" is best seen from Clauzetto. The church tower on the hill also makes a perfect backdrop. Access can be gained via narrow and steep alleys, some of which are paved with cobblestones, or via a somewhat wider main road. The cultural, natural, and historical ambiance makes Clauzetto unique.

You're really glad that this bridge exists when you approach the water from above via the long descent - partly trail.
