Artillery battery of Costa Curnic

Julian Alps Fortifications and bunkers

On the left bank of the Fella river, on the so-called Costa Curnic, an armament made up of four 75 mm steel guns was planned in support of Chiusaforte Fortress.

Today the platforms where these weapons stood are still clearly visible, together with other traces near the Stavoli Curnic, which offer an interesting walk among military positions, bunkers and the remains of barracks. After leaving the car shortly after the first bridge over the Rio Raccolana, on provincial road SP76 towards Sella Nevea, visitors follow CAI path 632 in the direction of Rifugio Gilberti until they reach a military cart road at 980 metres above sea level, after about 1 hour and 40 minutes of walking. At that point one takes the cart road to the left, where two anti-aircraft gun platforms are immediately encountered, and continues until reaching the remains of the Stavoli, where the road ends. For the return journey it is recommended to retrace the same path.
