CHAPTER VIII
The Alpe-Adria-Cycling-Autobahn connected by sideway channels:
Friulian Final Tarvisiano – Udine
Fr 17.7. Paularo – Tolmezzo – Moggio Udinese – Val Àupa – Sella di Cereschiátis (1066 m) – Studena Alta – Pontebba – via CAAR – Ugovizza – via CAAR – Sella di Camporosso (816 m) – Valbruna – Val Saisera – Malga Saisera – Valbruna – Ugovizza – via CAAR – ~Pontebba
Ü: C wild 0 €
AE (Ranzo, Valbruna): Tagliatelle m. Garnelen, Hirschgulasch m. Polenta, Zucchini, Pannacotta, Rotwein 29,50 € (***)
111 km | 13,5 km/h | 8:08 h | 1425 Hm
Now going down, I chose the bottom road in the Val di Chiarsò. In Tolmezzo you’ll find some delicious cakes. Some years ago I stayed there overnight in a hotel. I remember, the town was someway expensive, because it’s not really mountain area any more. Next way is not official CAAR, but you can ride this gravel road from bridge to Carnia to Moggio Udinese on the north bank of the Fella. If need asphalt, you must go for the state road, because CAAR this part to Resciutta is yet not completed (maybe next year). The Val d’Àupa is again very stony, little traffic, on the east more meadows with panoramic views. I checked the CAAR between Pontebba and Camporosso, where every bike (and passenger) is counted, marked with a big gate of wood. Of course, the whole route is easy to ride, without traffic. Some villages are not well connected with the way like Malborghetto. I looked for another panoramic view in the Val Saisera, not a hard climb at all, but still dark, when I reached the place. There are a lot of walkers, because exisiting several parking places in the valley. Instead of that the scenery is great. With a MTB it’s maybe possible to cross the mountain to the Val Dogna (next day), but with a randonneur this isn’t recommended.
Sa 18.7. Pontebba – Dogna – Sella di Sompdogna (1392 m) – Dogna – Chiusaforte – Resiutta – Val Resia – Sella Carnizza (1092 m)
Ü: C wild (Baita Botton d'Oro) 0 €
AE (dito): Gnocchi m. Käse, Salat, Hirschgulasch m. Polenta, Rotwein, Cafe 23 € (-)
80 km | 11,2 km/h | 7:07 h | 1850 Hm
For Val Dogna you must leave the CAAR and go to village Dogna. The nearly closed valley opens after a short tunnel. The road is another military road, and it’s steep, too. The mountain scenery is one of the best of the tour – it’s really great. Even I found a good bathing room open air with some waterfalls in a curve. Back in the Fella valley, there is a problem with the CAAR, that there are just a few accesses. I don’t know, whether they make it better next time. So I always had to ride on the road, but still no problem, because there is an autobahn, too – traffic is divided. Even the whole traffic in the valley isn’t prominent at all. The Val Resia in the lower part is easy to ride. It’s possible to find many places for bathing and it’s still idyllic with sum silver glimmering bushes. Maybe you should go for more in the upper valley. The Carnizza pass road starts sideway and it’s again very steep. I missed another walk to a waterfall, because of the late time. At the pass you’ll find two possibilities to eat something, but no accommodation for the night. The owner of the hut allowed me to camp on his ground (himself sleeping somewhere down in a village).
So 19.7. Sella Carnizza – Uccea – Passo di Tanamea (851 m) [24] – Vedronza – Zomeais – Tarcento – Sedilis – Nimis – Zompitta – Ribis – Udine [22:45 h || per DB-Beamer || Green Devil Mo 20.7. 10:10 h]
AE (R Odeon): Spaghetti m. Muscheln/Garnelen, Rinderfilet m. Steinpilzen, Ciocoletta Vesuvio, Cafe 41,70 € (****)
72 km | 15,0 km/h | 4:35 h | 520 Hm
The Tanamea pass is still simple. On the west you’ll find some lightening mountain scenery. I found some small river place for bathing in Zomeais; maybe it was the hottest day of the journey. Again I put a road through the Colli Orientali, the winery region, this way the north part, famous for the Ramandolo (an aperitif or desert wine). Wine tasting in Friuli is yet worse than in Slovenia. Everything is commercialized and on Sunday it’s nearly impossible. Finally I was cycling through the plane to Udine. There you feel good with some nice impressions with sunflowers, old mills and the church towers of villages, you’ll see always between the high corn fields. The canalization of the fields is forth going in the town Udine, where it’s working like climatisation. So feel very comfortable in the town, which is very clean and no way loud. Instead there are a lot of bistros to drink something, I just found a few restaurants. But well, finally I got my last dinner with fine dishes, which was also part of my “exploring voyage” of old and new Carantania – like once Paolo Santonino, who discovered Carantania in the late middle age by order of his bishop of Caorle, not avoiding good tasting.
Music: Trumpet player Enrico Rava, coming from Trieste, is one of the best styling sound maker in the tradition of Chet Baker and Miles Davis. He enables wonderful touching moods with his horn. In the following session accompanied with the same sensitivity by Stefano Bollani, p, Giovanni Tommaso, b, and Roberto Gatto, dr – something like a smooth touch on your skin in the summer wind: Enrico Rava „Profuma Di Donna” (5:04 min.)

I HAVE PUT MY NET OUTSIDE IN THE WIND
…
Sun and salt
corroded the planks
The mould swallowed

ON THE BANNER INFINITY
Engraved in golden lettern
with lucid and dark signals –
the one and only answer
the one and only being

What is fiction, what is truth,
– the man, is he wise and prudent?
The science will divide globals to fragments,
that helps us to understand.
The poetry makes secret thoughts important,
that is beloved for our dreams.
The history impresses footprints deep,
that is the shameful memorial of war letters.
The future is build on ruins high and risky,
if the alliance of peace isn´t broken down some day.
Be aware, short living on earth could be golden,
so far we enjoy the taste of bread and wine.
Without history, without legends – that way just remote galaxies die away,
that tells to mankind, just in small letters – the alien.

"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster. Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky. A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."
Old Hopi wisdom or prophecy, published in the film „Koyaanisqatsi” by Godfrey Reggio, music by Philip Glass
“Koyaanisqatsi” - Finale (5:27 min.)
Everybody has followed this exploring paper of old and modern Carantania region should stay five minutes with the film and music to rest in silence and harmony. I think we have to make a lot of thoughts about the future of the universe, and maybe just on earth.
