Tramonti Di Sopra

Tramonti Di Sopra can be explored through a range of themes: trails, water landscapes, building history and local craft traditions. If you are looking for a hotel in Tramonti Di Sopra, your interests can shape the way you see the area. Part of the area lies within the Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane; buildings and murals also tell different stories of local history. The following examples differ in their specific form and focus.

Nature and water landscapes

The Pozze Smeraldine are natural pools among the white rocks of a stream. The Fontanon dal Toff is a waterfall that emerges from a cave. These two natural features each have a distinct, easily recognizable form: pools among pale rocks in one case, and water emerging from a cave in the other. If you are interested in the landscape, you can take note of these differences as well as the trails leading to the places mentioned.

Circular trails and connecting routes

The Sentiero Strada da lis Fornas is an educational circular hiking trail linking several Fornaci in the area around Tramonti di Sopra. The Percorso del Pecolat is an easy, scenic circular trail. Both are circular routes, but they have different focuses: the Sentiero highlights the Fornaci and the connections between them, while the Percorso del Pecolat is notable for being easy and scenic. This provides a practical point of reference if you want to compare the trail features described here.

As an alternative route into the valley of the Torrente Meduna, the Sentiero delle Pozze Smeraldine follows a section of the Strada da Lis Fornas, a forest road and a wide mule track to the Pozze Smeraldine area. The starting point for the trail to the Fontanon dal Touf is described more precisely: it begins at the bridge over the Viellia on trail no. 829 and reaches its destination after about 45 minutes. This makes it possible to distinguish the trails by their stated destinations and features without conflating their respective details.

Building history and local traditions

The Fornaci around Tramonti di Sopra are circular structures made of dressed stone, about three metres high and intended for the former production of lime. Their shape, height and function give the Sentiero Strada da lis Fornas a specific historical connection. The exhibition “Acqua: natura, patrimonio, energia,” which opened in 2008, is housed in the Centro Visite di Tramonti di Sopra.

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Floriano Martire is another historical landmark: its original structure dates from 1600. At the Chiesetta della Madonna della Salute, worshippers hold a procession every year on the penultimate Sunday in November. Murals along the streets of Tramonti di Sopra preserve the memory of basket makers, tinsmiths and sawyers. Together, these examples show different forms of cultural heritage: building history, an annual religious tradition and the memory of traditional occupations.
