Venzone is the stage destination of the 6th stage on the Alpe-Adria bike path. Just over 2,000 inhabitants live here at the entrance of the Iron Valley (Canale del Ferro). Already the Celts settled here Celts 500 BC. After that there were many gentlemen of different cultures in Venzone. But even in modern times was not much quieter. In 1976, the place was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake. Nevertheless, there are still some sights to discover. Particularly interesting is a stay in October, when the popular pumpkin festival takes place.

Venzone – UNESCO World Heritage Site

Highlight • Historical Site

• UNESCO for "Resurrection" via the anastylosis method: Venzone did not make it onto the UNESCO list because it survived for centuries intact. It made it there because in 1976, a powerful earthquake leveled it to the ground 100%. The UNESCO inscription honors a reconstruction process unprecedented in world history. Residents and conservators rejected the idea of building a modern town. Instead, they picked up every single stone, even the smallest, from the rubble, numbered them based on thousands of archival photos, and used anastylosis to reassemble the entire Gothic town from scratch, like a giant puzzle. Riding your bike here, you are cycling through an architectural wonder of the world.

From here you can enjoy a splendid view of the mountains that are part of the regional natural park of the Julian Prealps.
On the slopes of the mountains there are some villages with low houses that make space among the trees.
