Hotel Franz - Itinerario 2 - Ciclabili Versa-Judrio

The Versa-Judrio cycle path touches six municipalities in the province of Gorizia (Medea, Capriva, Cormòns, Mariano, Moraro and Romans) and two in the province of Udine (San Giovanni al Natisone and Chiopris-Viscone) and is part of a larger cycle tourism network that extends for about 120 kilometers.

The town of Medea is known for the majestic Ara pacis mundi, a monument dedicated to the fallen of all wars and especially of World War II. Erected in 1950, it is located at the top of the hill of Medea. Inside the enclosure is the Ara; a wooden and bronze urn collects soil from over 800 war cemeteries scattered around the world and some vials of seawater taken from places where ships of various nationalities sank and where thousands of sailors and soldiers met their deaths.

The village of Giassico has origins that may date back to the Lombard era. Today it is a typically rural center, with houses equipped with rustic annexes and large inner courtyards, arranged around a square that, since the 19th century, has remained practically unchanged. Next to the square is the church of Santo Stefano, established before the 15th century.

The town of Cormons is the main center of the Collio. It houses the Cantina Produttori Cormons, which includes over 150 winegrowers and produces the Vino della Pace. In the beautiful square XXIV Maggio at the foot of Monte Quarin is the Enoteca Cormons.
