Forgaria Monte Prât

The small Lago di Cornino Nature Reserve extends over 500 hectares between the municipalities of Forgaria nel Friuli and Trasaghis. The wide bed of the Tagliamento river and the rocky walls of the Carnic Prealps are teeming with flora and vegetation and for nearly twenty years there has been an ongoing international project for the conservation of the griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus). An ideal destination for school trips and birdwatchers, the Reserve organizes guided excursions along panoramic trails and viewpoints, where you can admire the countless faunal species opulating the reserve, and in particular, the griffons as they soar up into the orning sky. There are several rest areas along the routes, where you can njoy your packed lunch.
