Short and nice roundtrip just near Cividale. This is one of the many possible tours near Purgessimo. This tour is decribed also on other books or sites (see notes on footer) but always in reverse direction. Going counter clockwise, as described below, the many drains in concrete will be passed during the climb so that will be possible enjoy more than 5 Km of beautiful descent.
