A beautiful river that gives off unbelievable water colors in the sunlight. Difficult to navigate on the right bank, on the left bank there is a great, wide gravel track with fine gravel, in some places a bit coarser gravel.

This furnace is an interesting example of industrial archaeology. It was built in 1926 by a group of local families to provide alternative employment.

This war cemetery, with hundreds of Italian and Austro-Hungarian gravestones, reminds us of the absurdity of war, which leaves behind only mourning, pain, and destruction.

Clauzetto rightly calls itself the "balcony of Friuli." I know many places with sweeping views of Friuli, and the "round horizon" is best seen from Clauzetto. The church tower on the hill also makes a perfect backdrop. Access can be gained via narrow and steep alleys, some of which are paved with cobblestones, or via a somewhat wider main road. The cultural, natural, and historical ambiance makes Clauzetto unique.
