Wonderful tour in a wild area. Country roads are in very good conditions because recently repaired. Departing is from Aagriturismo Zaro, at Pian di Fraccadizze. Then the tour goes down to the Ponte della Capra (Goat Bridge). Once in Prossenicco, 5 km of asphalted road, and then the long country road will climb Mount Rep. Another country road reaches departing point running along the side of Mount Spik. This roun trip is quite long but without great difficulties. The Agriturismo Zaro, departing and arrival place, is always opened and is an interesting farm opened to visitors. Delightful the foods available at the inn.
